- Restorative Yoga.
A slower paced class for people with ongoing health concerns or who have been inactive for a while. Anyone
can benefit from this quieting series of poses. It is wonderful for persons with
physical limitations and health concerns, such as chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, migraine, fibromyalgia, MS, menopause,
It’s also great when recovering from an illness or from jet-lag. In this class, the body is placed onto blankets
and bolsters into the shape of many classic yoga poses, such as forward bends, backbends, twists and shoulderstands.
Absolutely no effort is exerted; instead body and mind rest as in savasana, the deep relaxation pose, which is usually
at the end of a yoga practice. This affords passive stretches throughout the body and has many of
the benefits of their classic counterparts, with the exception of strength. Yet, a tremendous stress
reduction is experienced as the body relaxes, blood circulation is enhanced, and the mind becomes quiet.
