the heart of restoration series
Tension, while often a useful initial response to what makes you feel unsafe, eventually limits your comfort, vitality, openness, and well-being. It's far more exhausting to live in armor than it is to discover how to truly relax.
Join us for 4 restorative-based classes to explore the essential teachings from Deep Listening that will help us release blocked energy, surrender layers of deeply held tension, nurture your capacity for self-compassion, and access your inner wisdom.
Each class will begin with a short mindful slow flow practice, moving us towards conscious relaxation and two fully supported restorative yoga poses. We’ll incorporate guided imagery and Deep Listening and Metta practices to help us experience more clarity and connectedness.
This feeling of connection not only changes the way you respond to stress, it also leaves you feeling more at peace and sets the conditions for you to evolve and grow. You’ll gain a sense of grounding, be more present, release tension, and create space within yourself for connection, compassion, and deep listening.

Relaxing Into Loving Support
Relaxation doesn’t always mean stillness. And holding still isn’t the key to relaxing, but rather another way we suppress ourselves. In this practice we will weave together a slow flow warm up with balancing poses as we practice noticing our thoughts, feelings, and sensations and relaxing with them rather than adding on. We are learning to notice when, how, and where we tense up and rather than judging what we find, we are practicing relaxing with it. We'll return to our breath and the ground over and over again, helping us to refresh rather than stay caught in habitual thoughts and patterns. We’ll use slow movements in our restorative poses to continue to let go into stillness, rather than hold ourselves still, as we explore restorative side leans, twists, and surfboard poses.
