In this five week session, we will create balance in our physical and energetic bodies by combining a gentle asana practice with Yin postures. The gentle movements of the active postures will create strength in our bodies as well as our minds. Then the passive postures will encourage our bodies to release what we no longer need while increasing flexibility. A lovely long meditative savasana will complete each session. The entire practice is intended to bring the body, mind and breath into harmony and equanimity.

Join us for a journey into the self as we explore the practice of restorative yoga and the depth of the 5 Koshas. Yoga teaches that each of us exists in 5 increasingly subtle layers. Each week, we will go deeper into our awareness of these layers:

3 - The mental
4 - The insight
5 - The bliss body
Each week will begin with a 60-75 minute practice of long held, fully supported restorative yoga poses using bolsters and blankets to allow the student to fully relax and restore the nervous system. We will follow with an insightful meditation or exercise designed to invoke thought and promote personal growth. You'll leave feeling refreshed, connected and knowing a little more about yourself inside and out.
