Restorative Yoga & Live Sound Healing Workshop with Sarah Jenness
Sound, silence, and the power of pratyahara.
Restorative yoga is conscious relaxation. When the body is completely supported, we relax and draw the senses inward. This is the practice of pratyahara, one of the eight limbs of yoga.
Opening with “active” restorative postures and pranayama, we will move into deeply supported, longer holds as the body and nervous system relax. A live sound bath will compliment the experience, as well and periods of silence. Come experience the power of deep relaxation.
Dates:
- October 7th
- November 4th
- December 9th
Time
Sunday, 5-8pm
Cost:
- $55 drop in
- $45 for WSYS members
