Take a two-hour vacation that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. We will practice a sequence of restorative yoga poses (with the body fully supported), allowing the mind and body to become deeply relaxed. Becoming quiet and relaxed causes physiological responses to occur that benefit us and reduce the effects of stress-related diseases. Whether or not you have practiced restorative yoga before, these quieting and soothing postures will help relieve stress and fatigue as you decompress. All levels welcome.

How does our yoga practice foster a sense of self-understanding? This weekend will be devoted to looking at how a conscious yoga practice can allow us to see ourselves more clearly. Through slowing down and turning our attention within, we can notice our habit patterns, and in noticing, we can then more consciously choose our experience. Using the practices of yin style asana, active asana, pranayama, and meditation, we will cultivate openness and curiosity in which to meet ourselves, in our yoga, moment to moment.
