Relax & Renew

Service Description

We are under a tremendous amount of stress in our lives. Our daily routines, our busy families and jobs. For many people, the past few years have brought with then an increase in the emotional load they carry, with new work and family stress, as well as periods of isolation. It’s important to find ways to relieve this stress in our bodies. When we practice Restorative Yoga, we allow the body to release and relax. The more we practice coming back to this relaxed state, the more easily we can move there when we are under stress. It's teaching the nervous system a skill that we can call on when needed. Yoga Nidra, literally Yogic Sleep, is a guided meditation done in savasana, lying down on your back (or in any position that may work best for you). “In yoga nidra, we restore our body, senses, and mind to their natural function and awaken a seventh sense that allows us to feel no separation, that only sees wholeness, tranquility, and well-being,” says Richard Miller, a San Francisco Bay Area yoga teacher and clinical psychologist.
