Experience the power of Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic Yoga blends restorative yoga (supported postures), gentle yoga, breath-work, hands-on healing, and guided meditation techniques to create a gentle yet powerful practice designed to bring the body into balance and reduce stress. This nourishing monthly workshop is designed to support you in activating your innate “relaxation response,” freeing you from the chronic “stress response” that so many of us get stuck in day after day.
Therapeutic Yoga releases fascial constrictions resulting from tension, injury and scar tissue, with the potential for very deep release. As we open and release physical blocks, we allow our bodies to function optimally, leading to the following benefits:
- Improved posture
- Fuller expansion of the lungs
- Increased circulation
- Healing throughout the body
Creating new connections in the mind and body, Therapeutic Yoga facilitates physical change, emotional release, and mental restructuring. We will utilize guided meditation in each class, tapping into the power of the mind and positive imagery to alter your physiological state.
Step away from your busy external life and access the deeper wisdom that resides within. The body is designed to heal itself, and when given the chance it will!
All levels welcome in this class; this is a particularly effective practice for those recovering from injury or illness, but is also very beneficial for those simply recovering from a stressful day.
