Restorative yoga is a blissfully serene healing practice that invites relaxation of the body and calmness of the mind. Supported, safe and at ease, the practice honoring our needs to “rest & digest” (& defrost) ultimately leads us to a portal more receptive to healing. Abiding in the state of peace, we induce a condition more prepared for meditation, deeper rest or revived sensory energy level to smell the roses alongside life’s many paths. It’s … sweet. When deep relaxation is embodied through the restorative yoga poses, all the organ system of the body benefits.<\/p>\n

According to BKS Iyengar, this practice \u201ccreates space inside the body and flushes out the impediments\u201d and \u201cclears the energy blocks in the nervous system\u201d thereby balancing out our whole system. These benefits are reaped with the use of props such as blocks, bolsters, straps and blankets. Restorative yoga classes are accessible to all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Refreshed, Rejuvenated, it is amazing how the world becomes brighter, shapes and colors sharper and thoughts clearer where creativity comes easily as intuitions and ideas bubbles up to the surface of consciousness more abundantly. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Buoyancy returns to our eager steps and once again, we are childlike in looking at the miracles around us with sense of wonder. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I am grateful I found this peace within through this practice. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I am even more grateful I found the teachers who can distill the teachings in such a manner that I remain curious and eager to learn more and more. Namaste.<\/strong>
\n<\/a>\"bks<\/a> I hold space for our restorative yoga practice Sunday evenings – Replenish. No need to dread the impending workload or whatever that burdens you – Instead genuinely WELCOME the challenge (the “upside of stress”) and anticipate with joy the upcoming week with own batteries fully charged. We are well aware that Energy\/Prana do not just appear out of thin air – we need to tap into our inner source … and then, we need to harness it.
