Chronic Stress depletes us. The Vagus Nerve counterbalances the fight or flight

system & triggers relaxation of body/mind. A number of mental, physical &

emotional health problems arise from Vagus Nerve dysfunction. Examples can

include: insomnia, migraines, anxiety & depression, chronic pain, gas and

bloating, constipation, blood pressure issues and a fluctuating heart. A struggling Vagus Nerve makes the body more susceptible to infection & disease.

Stimulating the Vagus Nerve helps reset & restore the body’s Nervous System. If

you’re looking for easy tools; techniques to help you feel MORE relaxed &

balanced and LESS agitated or anxious, this is the INTERACTIVE class you’ve

been waiting for.

Restorative Yoga is a practice of conscious relaxation, using props in every posture to support your muscles in gentle, comfortable positions. There are NO Downward Facing Dog and Cobra that are the keystones of other popular yoga styles. Basic relaxation is the mainstay of a restorative yoga practice. Poses include gentle supine twists, supported forward folds, gentle reclining backbends and hip openers. The poses are held for anywhere from 3 to 30 min giving your body plenty of time to relax so that your mind can enter a quiet, meditative state. NO YOGA EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Destress before your weekend activities. Blocks and bolsters provided. Please bring a mat, blankets and any other props.
