Join us for this restorative workshop to decompress from the busy-ness of life and practice introspection and self care. Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing, gentle, and soothing practice. We will hold simple physical postures completely supported by props. The intent of this practice is to soothe and regulate the nervous system. This practice is deeply healing and magical.
Sound bathing is the practice of mindfully listening to different sounds that help relax the body and mind. Sound baths provide an immersive, full-body listening experience that can bring balance, relaxation, and a sense of calm to your whole being.
This
class series is designed to alleviate worries about your first yoga
class and make your introduction to yoga enjoyable. This is also a
great course for current yoga practitioners who are looking to
revisit beginning principles or those who have been out of practice
and would like a refresher.
In this series, you will learn foundational poses that are taught in most classes with a focus on technique and alignment, while developing camaraderie with other students who are learning too. Upon completion of this series you can expect to be prepared to enter a regular class with increased confidence.

- Breath work (Pranayama)
- Basic history and principles
Cultivate good heath and vitality through breath work. This workshop is the first in a series dedicated to breathing.
In this class we will begin to explore the fundamentals of breath work by first asking the question What is the essential breath? Through a number of inquiries we will discover the subtleties and nuances of the breath, and notice the ways we interfere with or block the natural breathing process. With simple, easeful movement you will clarify the relationships between breath and movement. Various postures will be reviewed so you may find the position that works best for you to focus on your breath, without being uncomfortable nor falling asleep. Important observations about how and where you breathe gained from this class will serve as a springboard to learn how to reestablish proper breathing techniques to improve physical and mental health.
