Restorative Yoga is a gentle practice that encourages deep relaxation, stress reduction, and rejuvenation. You can expect a mixture of deep breathing and mindfulness, as well as holding supported, passive poses for two to ten minutes - all sequenced to help you tap into your relaxation response!
The flows will include basic floor postures, such as supported back-bends, twists, and an occasional inversion. While we will offer modifications; please let us know ahead of time if you have any special considerations.
So reset and restore as we embrace change with this Autumn Restorative Yoga series.
Class meets each Wednesday for four weeks in a row. Total price for all four sessions is $55, or drop into a single class for $15.
Our annual Peace Walk is a community event that is FREE to all. You can participate in the whole event or just parts, as you like. We have a gentle yoga class as a warm up at 9 am. The Peace Walk is at 10 am, and at 11:00 am we have a short talk by Dr. Harvey Rosenthal about Mahatma Gandhi from 11:00 to 11:30 (Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend this talk.) This is not a protest or a demonstration, but a joyful activity. Sometimes we call it the Gandhi Walk in honor of Mahatma Gandhi whose birthday is early in Oct. Gandhi eschewed vehicular transportation when he could and walking was his preferred means of transportation. You are welcome to just come and walk for no reason other than to have a good time in good company. A few of us pick up trash along the route. Some pet owners bring their dogs. Rain or shine.
The walk is two miles through a beautiful neighborhood right by Yoga Central. There is also an easier 1-mile option.

Join Lana for a 90-minute Yin Yoga workshop focusing on the Metal element. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the fall season is associated with the Lungs, and the archetype of the Alchemist. We will explore shapes and philosophy that relate to, and nourish, these parts. Our time together will include Yin Yoga āsana, prānāyāma, and chant. If you’re new to this style of practice, Yin Yoga involves holding poses for 2-5 minutes, close to the earth, often with the support of props.
Note that this workshop is at The Yoga Place.
