Slow down, relax, and rejuvenate with a soothing yoga practice for the mind, body, and spirit. What to expect… The workshop will begin with some gentle movements followed by restorative yoga poses in which the body is supported by props and the body relaxes in the pose for an extended time. This is an extremely gentle restorative practice that will remove stress from your body and mind and guarantee you a night of deep sleep. Open to all levels.

“If yoga were a smorgasbord, restorative postures would most definitely be at the dessert table. These soothing and well-supported poses offer us the opportunity to linger quietly for a few moments and savor the simple sweetness of life.” -Yoga Journal
