Many of us are in a state of over-activity and over-doing, even in Summer. A week or weekend away may still involve a lot of “doing”. We may not be aware of how constant busyness impacts us emotionally and physically and we may wind up feeling over- stimulated, stressed out, stiff, tired, cranky and a little resentful of how much is on our list. Our health, sleep patterns, energy levels, and even our relationships can all be affected by doing too much and not slowing down.
The long days of summer, while wonderful, can encourage us to pack more in. And the addition of heat can take a toll on our nervous system. Taking an opportunity to cool down the body and mind can get us back to our healing para-sympathetic state.
Restorative yoga uses props to support the body in long-held poses. It’s a practice of conscious, healing rest. The comfort and ease of these gentle, supported positions facilitates health and relaxation and allows you to discover and experience the benefits of a nurturing relaxation practice. This practice is good for everyone and accessible for everyone.
Class will be led by Dawn Young, ERYT and C-IAYT. Each session will begin with a brief all levels yoga breath and movement practice, to help facilitate a deeper rest.
