Restorative Yoga Class

This week I will be teaching 2 restorative yoga classes.
I am often surprised why these classes do not "fill to the brim", with a waiting list.
It seems like this is just what most of us need and yet we resist this practice of active relaxation.
Why? Well probably because it is hard... it is hard to get ourselves to say yes to this practice of being still, open, receptive and surrendering into what seems to go against the grain and yet is so fundamental to our wellbeing.
Judith Lasater says," in a chronically stressed state, quality of life and perhaps life itself, is at risk. The body's capacity to heal itself is compromised, either inhibiting recovery from an existing illness or injury, or creating a new one, including high blood pressure, ulcers, back pain, immune dysfunction, reproductive problems and depression".
In these two classes I hope to give students skills and choices when choosing to create a 10 minute home restorative yoga practice that will enhance daily life on many levels.
