Restorative Yoga Workshop

August 15, 2010
2:30 – 4:30 p.m.
$40.00
Led by Molly

Stress is the cause of over 95% of illness. Take this opportunity to come and slow down, pause, treat yourself with tenderness, and softness. Restorative Yoga is the use of props to support the body in positions of openness and ease to facilitate healing and relaxation. There are pending studies showing that Restorative Yoga lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, improves sleep, eases anxiety, stimulates metabolism, boosts the immune system, and give the practitioner a warm fuzzy feeling. Different from active styles of Yoga, Restorative Yoga is about residing in stillness, opening and not stretching, and introspective work on the self. The workshop will begin with some Gentle Slow Flow to warm up and prepare the body for stillness. Class will include Pranayama, long Restorative poses with individual attention to each student. Students will learn how to set themselves up in restorative poses. The class will end with Yoga Nidra, deep rest.

Open to all, injuries accommodated

Laughter makes us feel happy, gives us energy, and stimulates the immune system.
In Laughter Yoga we laugh as a form of exercise in a group to cultivate joy, gratitude, and healthy relationships.
As begun by Dr. Madan Kataria in 1995, Laughter Yoga is the combination of laughter exercises with the deep breathing and deep relaxation techniques of yoga.
In this workshop, we will practice laughter exercises and discuss ways to make laughter more present in our every day lives. This practice will relieve stress, lift your mood and put a smile on your face that will stay with you for days.

Laughter Yoga sessions will last up to an hour.
All ages welcome. No special equipment required. Please wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to remove your shoes.
Come for one session or all four! Bring your friends and family.
