If you like Savasana (final relaxation at the end of yoga class), then you’ll love this workshop. Most of us lead very busy lives and don't take enough time to take care of ourselves.Now it’s time for YOU! Restorative Yoga is one of the best things you can do to refresh, rejuvenate and renew your mind, body and spirit.
We'll be using lots of props, blocks, blankets, bolsters, eye pillows, sandbags, walls and more to support our bodies and minds in "active relaxation." Watch your stress start to melt away as we alternately stimulate and relax the body to move toward balance. Some poses have an overall benefit while others target an individual part, such as the lungs or heart. All create specific physiological responses which are beneficial to health and wellness.
These poses are great to practice anytime you need to restore and find some balance. Many of them can be practiced at home adapting household items for props. They are especially beneficial for the times before, during, and after major life events: death of a loved one, change of job or residence, marriage, divorce, and everyday stress. It is amazing what these poses can do. (Mimi refers to these as "yummy".)

Often referred to the quiet practice, Yin Yoga addresses the more yin parts of the body. These are the parts of the body that lie closest to our core, specifically the bones and connective tissue above the knees and below the navel. Unlike the muscles, which are the more yang parts of our bodies (the parts that like movement and repetition) the connective tissue needs to be addressed in a yin way with an attitude of quiet acceptance. The postures, which are mostly practice on the floor, are held for longer periods of time (usually 3-5 minutes). Yin Yoga is meant to compliment our yoga practice.
