Audrey Drake
Audrey began her yoga journey in 2003, encouraged by her triathlon coach to incorporate it into her training. At first, she viewed yoga purely as a physical workout—but over time, as her practice deepened and she began training to teach, her time on the mat evolved into a meaningful "work-in." Since becoming a certified teacher in 2017, Audrey has found great joy in both teaching and being a lifelong student of yoga. She is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, with 150 of those hours dedicated specifically to Trauma Awareness and Sensitivity. Her passion for understanding the roots of yoga led her to India, where she immersed herself in its rich history and traditions. Audrey believes that every time we step onto the mat—even in stillness—we open the door to self-discovery and growth. She encourages students to carry these lessons into their daily lives, embodying yoga beyond the mat.

Description

Slow down and reconnect with your inner stillness in this deeply restorative class that blends the long-held, meditative stretches of Yin Yoga with the guided relaxation of Yoga Nidra. Ground & Restore is designed to release physical tension, calm the nervous system, and support emotional balance. Taught by our Trauma-Informed instructor Audrey, the class will begin with Yin postures targeting the deep connective tissues, helping to increase flexibility and circulation while inviting introspection. The class concludes with Yoga Nidra, a form of yogic sleep that promotes deep rest and mental clarity. This practice is ideal for all levels, especially those seeking stress relief, gentle movement, and profound relaxation.
