Therapeutic Rest and Restore

Service Description

Led by our resident Yoga Therapist, this deeply restful practice is designed to help you slow down, reset, and fully unwind. Using fully supported poses, gentle breathwork, and extended rest, this class invites the body and nervous system into a state of ease and restoration. Guided with a yoga therapy lens, you’ll be supported in releasing tension, settling the mind, and reconnecting with a sense of calm and steadiness. Each class includes an extended guided meditation to deepen rest and integration. Especially supportive for those feeling stressed, depleted, or overwhelmed, or for anyone needing intentional space to rest and restore. A Yoga Therapist has been trained to work with the system of yoga to treat specific conditions. Some examples may include physical pain (back pain, shoulder injuries), anxiety disorders, cancer support, PTSD, ESD, fibromyalgia, insomnia, depression, autoimmune diseases, addiction, obesity, the list goes on. Yoga therapy can act as a useful adjunct to the western medical model or as a stand-alone therapy depending on the condition and/or the skill and experience of the Yoga Therapist. The IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists) has set standards that have a minimum training time of 800 hours for all Yoga Therapists. This is in addition to the prerequisite of a 200-hour YTT (yoga teacher training).
