Description
Perfect for getting over that mid-week hump, Reset + Restore is a great combination of active movement and active rest. About half of this class will focus on stretching and flowing through common foundational poses both seated and standing, while matching breath to movement. The second half of this class will focus on restorative yoga, a form of active rest in which the mind, body, and spirit are given the time and space to renew, recharge, and restore. This practice centers on slowing down, centering, and heart-opening through passive stretching. We practice stillness and very gentle movement for extended periods of time throughout the practice through fully supported poses that are each held for 3-5 minutes. This class will also spend time practicing Mindful Meditation with a focus on the awareness of our senses and feelings without interpretation or judgment. Practicing Mindful Meditation incorporates breathing techniques and meditation practices to help relax the body, clear the mind, ease the spirit, and reduce stress.
