RESTORATIVE YOGA SERIES
 
Restorative yoga poses are gentle and supported, using various props.  In restorative yoga, one receives the benefits of the yoga pose while at the same time is able to relax in the pose.  Various Pranayama (breathing techniques) are explored in each pose.  Since each pose is fully supported, muscular pain or stiffness is soothed, and the mind can become quiet.  Thus, restorative yoga relieves stress, increases circulation, improves respiration, aids in digestion, and encourages relaxation.  It's a perfect compliment to an active, athletic yoga practice because one can deepen the understanding of a yoga pose without physical exertion or strain.  Previous yoga experience helpful, but not necessary.  Individualized attention is provided, and is inclusive of all levels - ideal for beginners.

Dates:  Sunday, September 28^th - 1:30-3:00 p.m.

Price:  $35; drop-in students welcome.
