RESTORATIVE YOGA WORKSHOPS
Sundays, January 11, February 8, March 15, April 19, May 31 & June 28
1:30 - 3:30 pm
In this 2-hour workshop, you will experience yoga like never before. Guided through a series of supported yoga poses, you will feel the profoundly relaxing and deeply rejuvenating effects of Restorative Yoga.
Restorative Yoga is a practice born from the Iyengar tradition that utilizes a variety of props to completely support the body in gentle, restful positions. Poses are usually held for 15-20 minutes. The goal of this practice is for the practitioner to enter a relaxed and meditative state from which the body is more able to access its natural ability to cleanse, rest, heal and build immunities. One is eased into total relaxation, reducing both physical and mental stress, while invigorating the body, releasing tight muscles and toning internal organs.
The workshops are open to everyone. No prior yoga experience needed!

Studies have found that 20 minutes in a Restorative Yoga pose can be as restful as 2 hours of sleep so, what are you waiting for...?!
Here is what some participants have to say about these workshops:
Veronica - October 2007
Restorative Yoga Rocks!!! I had been to regular yoga classes, but never attended a restorative yoga class. I feel like this class was worth it's weight in gold. I left class feeling completely refreshed and ready to tackle my week. I really liked that the instructor (Alicia) made accommodations for those of us who have injuries or difficulty with certain positions. I signed up for the next two classes as soon as I was done!! Well worth it if you are looking for an alternative stress reducing type of yoga class.
Heather - January 2008
Alicia's restorative class is a must. I walk into the class with stress from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, but by the second pose, relaxation seeps into every nook and cranny. I re-enter the hectic world but retain my relaxed state of being for days.
Ermalinda - January 2008
I was never interested in yoga until I met Alicia. Her Restorative Yoga workshops have shown me that I can take control of my body and my reactions to my environment. Her love of yoga and extensive knowledge of the subject are evident in her classes. She allows her students to lead themselves, always guiding yet never dictating the movements. Alicia's Restorative Yoga workshops are for all who need to de-stress and bring balance back into their lives.
Gail - June 2008
I just wanted to thank you for your commitment to providing such a quality service. Your expertise, creativity, and passion for what you do is apparent in each session. I am constantly seeking opportunities to participate in activities that nourish my body, mind, and spirit and promote well-being, and your Restorative Yoga Workshop series has often been a welcome respite during busy and stress-filled times. I look forward to seeing you in the Fall.
