RELAX, RELEASE, RENEW: Restorative Yoga Class with Reiki Healing


RELAX, RELEASE, RENEW: Restorative Yoga Class with Reiki Healing

Saturday, December 19th 6-8pm.

The beginning of the holiday season can bring both joy and stress in our lives. This workshop is specifically offered during this time to give a moment to slow down, to let go in fully supported postures with deep relaxation. This gives both the mind and body time to refresh and rejuvenate.
Restorative Yoga is a form of yoga that uses props and blankets to modify traditional yoga postures. The postures gently open the body to deep relaxation and healing. Restorative yoga classes are ideal for those going through stressful times, suffering from chronic pain, illness, injury or major life changes. It is also great for anyone who wants to experience rejuvenation of the body and mind through active relaxation and passive stretches and postures.
Reiki is commonly known as an ancient Japanese healing art and is a gentle hands-on healing modality. While the student is in restorative poses, the Reiki Practitioner will channel Reiki energy, known as prana, chi, ki, or life force, to assist physical, mental, emotional healing, and deep relaxation.
Reiki is a great compliment to a restorative practice that will help facilitate healing and deep relaxation.
What to expect:
During the class, the body is supported by props and the poses are held for up to 15 minutes to allow for deep opening and release. Reiki is channeled to the student using a hands on technique and deep breathing is practiced to further promote healing, relaxation and stress reduction.
You will leave feeling refreshed and de-stressed.
This class is open to all levels. Dress in comfortable clothing.
Please feel free to bring your own blanket, pillow and eye pillow.
Workshop is $20, $18 if you pre-register. Spaces limited to enable adequate room and attention.
