Give yourself the gift of deep relaxation with an extended, gentle, and nurturing yoga practice, hosted by Julia Pobst. In this 90-minute session, you'll create space for rest and renewal, helping you to fully embrace the present moment as you move into the holiday season. We'll begin with soothing stretches and somatic movements to release tension in your body, followed by restorative postures held for longer durations. Through guided breathwork, imagery, and poetry, you’ll invite a sense of calm into your system, cultivating a tranquil mind and body. Let the gifts of slow time, mindful breath, and heartfelt intention soften your heart and guide you toward greater ease, peace, and presence.
The days
around Winter Solstice are the darkest days of the year in the
Northern Hemisphere. This is a powerful, sacred time. It's also a
turning point, and we recognize it with a special practice to honor
and nurture the life force within.
This workshop begins
with a practice of kundalini yoga to awaken energy, balance the
body and bring the mind to stillness. Energy centers are balanced
and unblocked, tension is released and deep rest occurs.
An extended gong bath will bring your body deep rest and restoration. You will emerge renewed with a sense of clarity and peace, in preparation to bloom again in the months ahead.
Join Amy and Alexis for a 90-minute restorative yoga workshop. This workshop will lead students into deep relaxation and rest. By allowing the body to rest, we allow the body to heal. This practice will help to activate and balance the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces fatigue, anxiety, and stress, and promotes overall well-being.
All restorative poses are done seated or lying down, with the use of props to support the body. Each pose will be held for 10-15 minutes, allowing plenty of time to settle into each pose to find restoration, peace, and ease of the body and mind.
As Amy and Alexis are both yoga teachers and massage therapists, this workshop will include gentle touch during each pose, with your expressed consent. Great for all experience levels, especially for those looking for nourishment and self-care. Join us to rest, relax and restore!
Set some powerful intentions for 2025 and join Lindsey on January 5 for a yoga mala, a tradition consisting of 108 sun salutations practiced to welcome a new season of life, release what's no longer serving us, and set out our purpose for the months ahead.
Our practice will be divided into 4 rounds, each
with a unique dedication:
Round
1: Commitments to personal growth and
transformation
Round
2: Dedications for family and friends
Round
3: Vows to the global community
Round
4: Devotions to a higher being or concept (justice, peace,
compassion)
This music-driven moving
meditation is open to all, and if you've never done a mala before,
not to worry. Whether you do one sun salutation or all 108, there's
a place for you in the
circle. We'll fill the center of the circle with flowers and
personal mementoes (photographs, mala beads, journals, etc.), so
feel free to bring something to share there.
$35 early bird through December 25 / $40 after.

your attendance, please contact us at info@carborroyoga.com to hear about scholarships.
