Restorative Yoga

Beth Daughtery

Saturday, November 5, 2022 12.30-5.30pm

We work very hard in our lives today, rarely taking the time to rest. On top to that, we live in a culture of chronic stress. This stress can cause many ailments that include high blood pressure, ulcers, back pain, and emotional disturbances. Restorative yoga poses enable our bodies to completely relax and rest, lowering our heart rate and blood pressure, as well as providing an emotional release for our minds. Students will need to purchase "Relax and Renew" By Judith Hanson Lasater which can be purchased on Amazon.

 Certified Yoga Instructors will receive 5hrs of continuing education credits that can be registered with Yoga Alliance. Cost $150.

Free our shoulders

Then, we will work on isolating responsible stabilizing muscles to be sure we are engaging and strengthening the right places before tying it all together with plenty of time to practice your new skills in the yoga poses you love or movements you love.
