Restorative, Yin, & Somatic Practices
Restorative Yoga is a gentle, calming practice that involves holding poses for extended periods with the support of props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks. The goal is to deeply relax the body, reduce stress, and promote healing by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Benefits include improved flexibility, reduced muscle tension, and enhanced emotional well-being. It's perfect for anyone looking to unwind and rejuvenate.
Yin Yoga focuses on stretching and deepening into poses that target the connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Poses are typically held for several minutes, allowing for deep relaxation and release of tension. Benefits include increased flexibility, improved joint mobility, and a calming effect on the mind. It's an excellent practice for balancing the more dynamic forms of exercise and fostering mindfulness.
Somatic Yoga Therapy combines traditional yoga poses with somatic movement and awareness techniques. This practice increases bodily awareness and mindfulness, promoting physical and emotional healing. Benefits include stress reduction, improved digestion, and enhanced physical fitness. It's particularly helpful for those looking to connect more deeply with their bodies and foster a healthy relationship with food and stress.
