Rest & Restore -Restorative Yoga

Happy Om Studio & Online 

7- 8.45 p.m    January 16th

            -once a month on Saturday

Movement , Mantra & Yoga Nidra - effortless call to remember ease, to rest...

In this class we will be stretching and resting the body and mind in a luxurious restorative way. Props are used to support the body so poses can be held longer, allowing the body to open through passive stretching. The postures are usually adapted from supine or seated yoga poses, and their shapes are modified to your individual self with blocks, bolsters, blankets and straps to eliminate unnecessary muscular effort.

We will be holding each restorative yoga pose for a few minutes, even as long as 10 minutes.

It is an active form of relaxation. Specific body parts are alternately relaxed and stimulated, moving the body back to its natural  balanced state. Some poses will have an overall positive effect on the body’s systems, while others will target a specific part, such as the chest or spine.
Restorative yoga practice is a journey inwards. Soothing, comforting, relaxing and renewing. It is excellent for reducing chronic stress, anxiety and exhaustion.

​

In this class Mantras will be used. Mantras are like Asanas (physical postures) for the mind. They give plasticity and adaptability to the mind, soften and awaken the heart.  As the asana controls the body and pranayama controls the breath, so  the mantra controls the mind. They balance and harmonize the energies in daily life.

​

Join me for this practice and learn how to support Yourself by the nurturing power of rest and healing rhythm of  stillness. 
Practice is followed by deep guided relaxation called Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep).

No previous yoga experience necessary, just come as you are...

Next session: January 29th

                 -last Friday of the month 

Welcome Yourself into a gentle, feel-good breath led practice.

The way we live today, so technically connected, with our schedules so filled we constantly hang out in the stress response.

It can slowly become the 'normal' state for us to be all the time concerned with what is next or how can I fill this moment?

Mind and body can become restless, anxious and tired...

 We will move through a simple sequence designed to guide you  to a sense of ease, spaciousness and deep rest in order to re-balance your nervous system and to experience better quality of sleep and a peace of mind.
You will be introduced  short Pranayama (breathing technique) & guided by Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep).

This class is for all with the anxious minds , for those who are waking up not rested enough or can't sleep and those who just simply need to REST, yet finding it hard.  

P.S: You won't be needing any extra props. Blankets and pillows are enough.

Everyone is welcome to this practice as alternatives and modifications are offered and you will walk away with some tools to use for Yourself when you need them most.

7.30-8.00a.m  Online 

Next session: 10th February

 This is an invitation to meet once a month  (free of charge) for a sweet and short 30 minute morning practice. 

Get up and shake up the heaviness & stiffness with this short enlivening practice. Our bodies don't need much to feel refreshed and awake so we can greet our day with a new perspective and generosity of your own attention & presence.

This class if for you if you are:

-lacking motivation to even get up from bed (practice in your PJs! no problem)

-a yoga junkie

-always wanted to do morning yoga but....(too early, too stiff, etc.etc.)

-wanting to spend more time with me (aaaww....I miss You too!)

-love to start your day from a connected space with clarity and ease

 

P.S: Did you know, that shaking is natural way to release tension and return the body to its normal homeostasis? Animals naturally shake to release tension after a life-threatening event (watch the dogs, cats and even birds), so shy not us too!? 

​
