“I absolutely felt that it was a nurturing experience.“
“I had a calm sort of energy and had more clarity than I had had in a long time.”
Soul food: Rest & Restore with Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is defined as “the use of props to support the body in positions of comfort and ease to facilitate relaxation and health.” – These are the words from my teacher Judith Hanson Lasater.
Restorative Yoga is about “Being” rather than “doing”
We will be using Yoga props like bolsters, blankets, blocks, and eye pillows/covers so that the body is entirely supported and to cultivate a quiet mind.
My teacher Lizzie Lasater likes to refer to Restorative Yoga as “Embodied Meditation”. It’s NOT sleeping, but rather we will be practicing intentional rest, and Pratyahara (the conscious withdrawal of the senses from the external world).
If you are ready to take some “me-time” for yourself…..if you feel like it’s time for you to take some time for YOU to be nurtured…..this is for you.
If you are saying yes…
…Then I would love you to join me (Karen) and a small group of women
