Restorative Yoga

About this Class

In this hour-long restorative class, expect a gentle, slow, still style of yoga that involves long, passive holds in a series of 4-6 restful poses. Students are often supported by a variety of props to enhance or deepen their experience and achieve a state of total relaxation and release. The goal, if any, is to be in a place of no effort at all! Sarah will talk a little on the front end of the postures in order to offer guidance and suggestions for positioning and use of props, then will be quiet; much of the class will be held in relative silence. Sometimes the class will include options to engage in gentle forms of meditation or breathwork throughout in order to equip their minds to gently focus as a part of their relaxation, as well. Recommended props: blocks (or books), strap (or scarf/towel), blanket, pillow or bolster
