About the Event
Our lives are filled with doing, when is the last time we have allowed ourselves to just be?
Rest is not a luxury. Rest is necessary.
This practice helps to slow the body and mind to bring it into balance. Moving out of the "fight, flight or freeze" state of sympathetic nervous system and into the "rest & digest" parasympathetic nervous system.
This class will be softly lit with a beautiful warmed floor. Soothing poses to coax the nervous system into rest. You can even keep your eyes closed through most of the class if you wish. A lovely way to end your week & begin your weekend. When it seems you don't have time for rest is the exact time you need it most.
This is the magic of restorative yoga.

"It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol."
