Restorative Yoga Workshop
with Sara Tirner

March 6
1-3PM

Restorative Yoga is simple yet profound. The body is invited to relax as you are supported by props such as bolsters and blankets. The sound of soothing music, the aroma of essential oils and gentle hands on adjustments create a supportive environment so that layers of deeply held tension may be released. With the help of intention and imagery, the mind calms and peace may envelop your entire being. This practice is a gift to the nervous system and can have a profound impact on all essential systems of the body.

Cost: $40. Preregistrations before March 4th are $30.
