In this slow, gentle, nourishing practice poses are held for 3 or more minutes, created deep within the joints, ligaments and connective tissue.

Hot Stone Restorative Yoga Workshop
Restorative Yoga is a deeply soothing inward form of yoga where the body is placed in highly therapeutic postures that are supported with soft bolsters, blocks and cozy blankets while the mind is invited to slow down. The result is a state of relaxation much deeper than traditional sleep. (Postures are held up to 25 minutes each).
