Restorative Yoga...why do it?
Relax all the way down to your cells.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend :)
Notice and feel more of the world through your yoga experience.
1. Slow Down the Pace of Life
Restorative yoga is an excellent opportunity to slow down from the frenetic activity of daily life by offering a welcome respite among all the business of 21st century life. Restorative yoga helps to prepare the mind and body for meditation and deepened awareness.

2. Soothe Your Nervous System
Ahhh the slower pace and deep breathing practiced in a restorative yoga class triggers our parasympathetic nervous system and helps to reduce the effects of the regular fight-or-flight stress response that can damage your sense of well-being. The deeply relaxing experience of a restorative practice comforts and calms your mind, nervous system and body all the way down to the cellular level.

3.Encourages Mindfulness
Another name for restorative yoga could be “mindful yoga” because slower movements combined with relaxed and deep breathing encourage an expanded embodied awareness. Moving slowly cultivates space for a deeper experience of the poses, the breath and a heightened awareness of physical sensations, thoughts or emotions that arise, or sounds in the environment. These can all take on a richer and more profound significance in the depth of the restorative practice.
