Restorative yoga relies on the use of props and prolonged holds of simple poses to achieve the deepest relaxation in the body and mind. Restorative yoga is particularly helpful for stress, accumulated tension in the physical, mental and emotional bodies. Using props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, etc to support the physical body, the breath is used to help the body start unwinding, dissolving stress and accessing a deep state of relaxation.

Slow Flow Yoga allows beginners to create their own synchronized dance, while learning poses and how to move, breathe, and stretch between poses. Slow flow brings the element of time into the practice. It gives the practitioner time to evaluate how and when a pose should to be modified to fit their abilities, as well as time to mentally engage with their body as they move through a series. The mind and body connection is one of the main goals when practicing all forms of Yoga.

Known as Nuad Boran in Thai, this class gives participants a chance to pair up with another to take turns giving and receiving the massage. The giver will guide the receiver of the massage into Yoga postures and work on his/her energy lines and pressure points, alleviating the recipient’s muscular tension and improving circulation. The receiver, while laying in relaxation, will achieve greater Yogic flexibility without strain or effort.

Yin Yoga is a practice in which each posture is held for several minutes.

It emphasizes stretching the connective tissue and beautifully combines the three great wisdoms:

Hatha Yoga (as the body is shaped as in traditional Hatha Yoga),
The 5 Element Meridian System of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Utilizing the meridian pathways or energy lines throughout the body),
Mindfulness as demonstrated through Tibetan Buddhism.

Yin Yoga postures provide therapeutic benefits. Each posture influences the flow of Prana energy through the body’s specific pathways (known as nadis or meridians).

This not only optimizes health and well-being, but when combined with the practices of self-inquiry and mindful awareness, allows the body to heal from the inside out.

In Yoga Therapy we practice traditional Hatha Yoga postures and consciously engage the Prana / life force within them, via the nadis / energy channels, and explore the connection of our bodies and minds. We consciously re-establish the unobstructed flow of the energy, with the tools of asana, pranayama, mindfulness and directed awareness. Creating the cultivation of a direct experience of the transformational healing, which subsequently connects our bodies and minds to the One Spirit that breathes us all.
