Restorative Yoga – Savor complete surrender of mind and body. This practice is slow and deliberate. We start with deep stretches and warm-up poses before using props to allow the body to completely let go. This 75 minute class targets the para-sympathetic nervous system, or PNS, which is responsible for balancing the body and bringing its response system back into equilibrium. Stimulating the PNS helps to lower heart rate, blood pressure; it helps to stimulate the immune and endocrine systems, and promotes well-being. Open to all levels of practitioners - no yoga experience necessary.
Gentle Viniyoga - In this class, yoga postures and breath work are adapted to accommodate individual needs.
