Restorative yoga is a deeply soothing inward form of yoga where the body is placed in highly therapeutic postures that are supported with soft bolsters, blocks and cozy blankets while the mind is invited to slow down. If you don't have those items you can use pillows or a hard cushion for the bolster and books or boxes for blocks.

During this session we will use Yin Yoga shape to contain our movement so that we can pause. Pause in gratitude for one another and this beautiful community we have created have created on this day. When we pause to notice, without judgment or expectation, we begin to view our surroundings and circumstances from a different perspective. We gain a deeper awareness of how even the simplest of things enrich our lives. We see our challenges as tools for learning and deepening our understanding. And in this fresh view, we begin to create a heart-warming recognition of gratitude in the moment. Please have a candle available.

This class presents a contemporary view of self-awareness based on the 3,000-year old kosha model from the Upanishads, an East Indian Wisdom tradition. The five-layers of self-awareness provide a broader foundation for self-exploration than the better-known Western mind/body model. We’ll experience a series of movements, focused breathing, visualization and meditation that will take us through all five layers, physical, breath/energy, mind, intuitive wisdom and bliss.
