Understanding Restorative
This two part workshop will explore the basic principles of a restorative yoga practice and how to use a variety of props to support the body in various asanas. Poses are held longer to enable a deepening of relaxation, which supports the practitioner to move beyond the muscular/skeletal experience of the poses. This will enable the student to understand how the practice can calm, rebalance, and support the body on several levels: physiologically, systemically, organically and pranically. We will also examine the effects of inversions, the foundation of any restorative practice, in more detail and how to create a safe practice environment for students in these poses.
