Relieving Stress, Relaxing Deeply
“Yoga is the union of the individual self with the universal self”
This workshop will begin with simple postures to release tension, lengthen and stretch tight muscles and enhance circulation. We release into and sense our bodies. Then, with the use of props, such as blankets, bolsters, blocks and straps you will be guided into specific restorative postures to enable deep relaxation and healing. Mindful breathing will be introduced to calm your nervous system. From there, a guided relaxation will help you to connect to stillness. The process of calming and quieting your actions, thoughts and feelings enables you to move into increased self awareness. Practiced regularly, this will give your body the freedom it needs to merge into wholeness and peace. It is excellent preparation for meditation.
