Relax, Restore + Retreat – A Restorative Yoga Workshop

In the modern world, we live in constant state of ‘stress’ as life demands more from us. It is important to allow the body to activity relax, so that we balance our nervous system and cope with the world around us. Restorative yoga, is the active practice of relaxation. It triggers our parasympathetic nervous system, which allows our body to relax, heal and find wellness.

In restorative yoga, we use props (blankets, bolsters, blocks) to fully support and hold the body in positions that are enjoyed for up to 20 minutes. This allows for the mind to move away from the body, so that the physical body is allowed to release layers of tension and restore.

In this workshop, jennifer will guide you through a series of restorative poses, with a focus on relaxing and rejuvenate the body and mind. She will discuss how you can set up and recreate the same postures at home. There will be a focus on breathing, mindfulness and a deep guided relaxation.
