why restorative yoga?
Many people think restorative yoga is just a nap on a mat. While that can be really nice, it is so much more than that. Restorative Yoga is as an important form of self-care and ultimately collective care - that can help us restore resources, meet our tension and the trauma we harbor in our bodies, and learn to self regulate - in our largely high stressed and sleep-deprived lives - in a time when there has never been more divisiveness and difficult times in our personal lives, communities, and on our planet.
It is an alchemy of science and intention that can shift our inner chemistry and not only help us heal, but also to be more open, present, and energized in our lives, and transform the way we respond to the conditions within and around us.
Slowing down, turning inward, creating space for healing, and deeply listening to our body and heart is perhaps the most meaningful form of self-care work we can do. When we are more compassionate and connected with ourselves, we are able to be more compassionate and connected with others and the world around us. In this way, our practice not only benefits us, but it also benefits everyone we are in relationship with, and everyone we come into contact with.
