"One of the oldest and most beloved prayers from the Vedic tradition…tells us that all of life is sustained by one ever-renewing source. When we practice restorative postures, what we are restoring is our connection with the part of our mind that is linked with this enduring, vast, and silent source. Yoga tells us that when we are in intimate connection with this part of our mind…we are also tuned in to the body’s natural ability to heal itself."

- Donna Farhi

This workshop will explore opening the body to breathe and to receive energy and nourishment. Restorative yoga poses allow the practice of yoga without strain. Slow, effortless exhalation during the practice brings serenity to the body’s cells, relaxes the facial muscles, and releases all tensions from the organs of perception - the eyes, the ears, nose, tongue, and skin. When this happens, the brain becomes still. Then, invading fears and anxieties have lessened effect on the body. Techniques experienced in this workshop can be carried home and be used to deepen your relationship with self.

Workshop suggestions:

Eat a light lunch. Bring a bottle of water. A formal break will not be given; however, if you need to eat, you may slip out of the workshop and take a snack of juice or fruit.

The Center will be open 30 minutes before the workshop. You may come early, set-up and spend some time in stillness...coming into the breath. No talking will be allowed so each can have some stillness before the workshop.

Space is limited.

Your payment will hold your space in the workshop.

Workshop fee is non-refundable
