Restorative Yin Yoga

About this event

In our culture, our nervous systems are often overloaded throughout the day and we spend much time in a sympathetic nervous system arousal state (fight or flight). Restorative Yin Yoga brings our bodies and minds into a deep state of relaxation to heal and restore our nervous systems. The postures in this class will be held between 3 and 6 minutes and practiced on our mats in seated, reclined, or supine positions using props for support. The long hold times and prop-supported postures provide opportunities for meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, mindful rest, deep relaxation, stress release, and mind/body connection. The class is perfect for all levels and all bodies - no prior yoga experience is necessary. It is particularly beneficial for those who are very active and/or experience much stress in their jobs or daily lives.
