Returning to Rest:
Restorative Yin Yoga
A Restorative Practice of Yin Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork
During the "Yang" Season of Summer, which calIs us to be more active, warm and external facing, it is important to honor our Yin (passive, cold and internal) side.
This class combines meditation, breathwork and yin yoga in order to relax the nervous system for mental processing, emotional healing and physical relaxation. After an opening meditation and down-regulating breathwork practice, the majority of our time will be spent in supportive yin yoga postures that will be held for five to seven minutes each. This combined practice will prepare our systems for a restful sleep and a releasing of stress.
You are invited to experience the power of restorative practices such as Yin yoga, meditation and breathwork. Take this opportunity to slow down, reconnect with your body and prepare yourself for rest; especially during the busy summer season.
There will be time to journal at the end for those who feel inspired to do so, but this time will be unprompted and can be used for relaxation instead if journaling is not your thing.
What to expect:
Time for connection
Guided meditation and relaxing breathing exercises to calm the nervous system
Guided Yin Yoga that supports each person in honoring their body’s needs
Time for self-reflection
