with Kim Drye
During this specialized two hour yoga class the healing benefits of hot stone placement and restorative yoga are combined to give participants a therapeutic experience. Think spa treatment meets your yoga mat! Restorative Yoga is an approach to yoga that is accessible to all levels of practice. All postures are done on the ground with multiple props so that the body is completely supported at all times. This accessible practice allows the nervous system to calm, and the mind to rest. The calming characteristics of restorative yoga soothe the mind-body, while allowing room for breath and deep relaxation. For an added layer of relaxation each participant will receive hot stones placed strategically on their body during every posture. Please wear comfortable, loose clothing and arrive 10-15 minutes early.
