So many times people think they need a cleanse however the truth of the matter is this: Most people are TIRED not toxic. They actually need to cleanse their mind and body from habitual stress. This workshop about Restorative yoga will help you define and create restful practices that are all about slowing down and opening your body through passive presence.
Restorative yoga is a completely different experience than most other styles of yoga. Learn about what restorative yoga is and why it’s important to slow down and embrace the power of rest. Rest=Digest
Let’s dive into the anatomy of slowing down to understand how the mind can be grounded and the spirit lifted by taking a little time to go inward.

About the Instructors:
Kathy + Dennis bring a different perspective to yoga instruction by co-teaching… a blend of Yin and Yang energies. Their abundance of knowledge, practice, and experience draws from their studies and attendance of many national workshops across the country including training with Rodney Yee, David Life and Sharon Gannon, Shiva Rea, Sean Corn, Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and others. Their style is influenced by the traditions of Kripalu, Kundalini, Jivamukti, Ashtanga, Yin and Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Having traveled overseas extensively to over 40 countries, they have a broad view with much cultural exposure.
One cannot simply read and theorize; one must practice and take that practice inward to experience the multiple layers and terrain of ourself. As musicians, they have added the modalities of sound and vibration as a key experience and ingredient with meditative instrumentals of guitar, Sitar, crystal bowls, Native American flute, drums, and gong. They are teachers, but consider themselves more as guides or facilitators of an experience. They believe that yoga is about relationships; first, you with yourself, then you with the world and the divine. So with us, the practice is not a “work out”, but very much a “work-in”.
