Restorative Yoga, Ahhhhhh!



I have been studying many different styles of yoga,  and I am prepared to teach several of them. The most rewarding classes I teach are the BodhiYin Restorative at the Bodhi Yoga Center.

People who are injured, ill, elderly or who just need to recharge, will benefit from Restorative yoga. Restorative yoga helps relieve the effects of chronic stress, as it allows the body to relax and recharge with very little physical effort. The more you let go and relax, the more you benefit from a restorative practice.

BodhiYin practice uses bolsters, blankets and other props to support the body in total relaxation. The sequences are designed to move the spine in all directions and the internal organs are stimulated and soothed. Easy inverted poses might be included to reverse the effect of gravity. Restorative yoga strives to balance the upward and downward energy currents, so the body is neither depleted nor overstimulated. Supported poses are held for longer periods of time to allow the body to let go. You breathe and let go and let time and relaxation take you to your own Fountain of Youth to be restored.

If you need your energy reservoirs refilled, want to feel rejuvenated and restored, come to a BodhiYin class! Mondays and Thursdays 8:30-10 AM or Wednesdays 6:30 PM.
