Restorative Yoga with Marlene
Restorative yoga poses can be thought of as “active relaxation.” By supporting the body with props, we alternately stimulate and relax the body to move toward balance. As the body and mind relax, the nervous system sends and receives fewer messages, allowing quietness and deep relaxation. Doing restorative yoga cultivates the habit of attention and we can learn how and where we hold tension. Experience how restorative yoga can relax, rejuvenate and nourish your body, mind and spirit. Monthly workshop - see special events.
