Description

Restorative yoga is suitable for practitioners of all levels. By definition, restorative yoga is a restful practice that holds yoga poses (asanas) for a longer duration using props like yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters. It is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga—the union of body and mind. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly.
The sound of Crystal and Himalayan bowls transport you into a deep state of relaxation where your physical mental, and emotional self can rest and rejuvenate.
All levels are welcome!
