Yoga
Unifying of the self
Yoga is an ancient practice (more than 5000 years old) that helps create a sense of “union” in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. Yoga is more than just physical exercise. It’s a balanced approach to the integration of body, mind, heart, and spirit, and seeks to create deeper levels of physical health and vitality, relaxation, awareness, and well-being.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic style of yoga which utilizes props to make it easier for the body to get into certain poses. Practicing poses using props provides a completely supportive environment for total relaxation. The more your body is supported in the poses the deeper the sense of relaxation.
Restorative yoga focuses on relaxation, renewal, effortlessness and ease. Blankets, bolsters, straps, and other props safely support the body in various postures which allows the body to move towards a state of balance. This practice helps you quiet your mind and invites you to release deeply held tension and helps to increase flexibility and body function.
