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.

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.

This course will cover:
