Restful Yoga is a place to stop & pause, to ground yourself, to create balance; it’s a moment in time to breathe deeply — to tend to ourselves. Away from mobiles, work, family, and the daily demands of being ourselves. It’s a quiet space to restore & renew.
When we allow ourselves to be human, to stay in the shape of the posture as much as we are willing to and allow life to move through us and out. When we let the breath catch in our throat, to stay at the edge of our unknowing, to linger long enough that we tremble with the enormity of our courage. If you can stay until that moment passes, and you breathe easily and softly again into this body, deepening into your own mystery, you are at home in your body.

Rest Your Body
Imagine two hours of deep, supported restorative rest. The kind of relax that melts your bones & liquifies your mind into no-thingness, your brain waves ebbing & flowing. Your body weight is supported by bolsters, straps, blankets & blocks, your eyes are cushioned with a soft eye pillow.
Your senses withdraw and gradually your muscles soften & release, allowing gravity to call them to rest.
Any desire to move fades away and your entire nervous system heaves a sigh of relief as any anxiety, stress or nervousness is extinguished by the soft inhale and exhale of a Calm Mind + Calm Body.
