Gentle, Yin, and Restorative Yoga: Restore Comfort and Ease

Yoga, Spirituality & Ancient Wisdom

Gentle, Yin, and Restorative Yoga

Restore comfort and ease

Rest, Receive, and Recover

Many of us initially come to yoga to build comfort with discomfort: to find the upper edge of our limits and learn ways to stay focused and present in the face of intensity. But without attention to the other end of the spectrum—building comfort with comfort—it's easy to lose touch with your ability to rest, receive, and recover without feeling guilty. Yoga encourages us to find the right balance between effort and ease.

In this program, you will:

Connect with gentle, restful practices that help you see the value in doing less.
Practice gentle, yin, and restorative yoga, combined with yoga nidra.
Explore and accept that ease is your birthright.
Learn tools for an ongoing practices that will bring you back into balance long after you go home.

We'll explore an easy approach to gentle, yin, and restorative yoga, combined with yoga nidra guided relaxation. No yoga experience is necessary! Whether you're a classic Type A, an athlete, or a caregiver feeling depleted and disconnected from rest, you'll find this weekend to be the balm you need to cultivate your comfort with comfort.
