A class designed to help you embrace support and surrender. This class teaches you it is safe (and actually really productive!) to rest.

Unlike more movement-based styles, restorative yoga utilizes props to support the body, allowing practitioners to be held in shapes rather than to hold the shapes. This practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for promoting a state of rest and digest, leading to reduced stress and anxiety. In addition, scientific studies have shown that practicing restorative yoga can significantly lower cortisol levels (the body's primary stress hormone), improve sleep quality, reduce chronic pain conditions, enhance mood, and boost overall well-being by increasing mindfulness and body awareness. It is suitable for everybody, offering a serene sanctuary to replenish your energy, invite calm into your mind, and open your heart to the healing power of restorative rest.

Our Restorative Yoga class is focused on the gentle, yet often difficult art of accepting support. This nurturing practice is designed to help you slow down, release tension, and cultivate a deep sense of relaxation through coregulation and self-regulation. Through the use of props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, you will be guided into restful postures that encourage both physical and mental letting go. As you surrender into each pose, you will learn to embrace support not just from the props and our yoga community, but also from within, fostering a profound connection with yourself.

Overall, the gentle nature of restorative yoga makes it an accessible and effective practice for nurturing both the body and mind.

Whether you're seeking stress relief or simply a moment of peace, this class invites you to experience the rejuvenating benefits of finding safety in letting yourself be held and supported.
