4-Week Restorative Yoga Series
Dealing with a chronic illness is incredibly stressful! It’s not uncommon for our bodies to live in a state of “fight, flight, or freeze” due to chronic symptoms, general uncertainty, and just the sheer weight of not feeling well. As a result, it may be difficult to truly rest and recover.
This series uses tools and techniques of Restorative Yoga to counteract these effects by engaging the relaxation response of the nervous system. Using props from home to support your body in restful postures, you can allow gravity to do the work for you and gain more by doing less.

CLASS DETAILS & WHAT TO EXPECT
To deeply benefit and allow time for the relaxation response to fully engage, this class will be 45 mins.
This is not a movement practice. It is setting up props to position your body in restful poses. Modifications will be shown for each pose to ideally find what works best for your body.
Each class will have:
- Only 2-3 postures to allow time to relax and let go.
- Minimal speaking. The goal is to allow your brain to rest deeply, so silence is vital. (You may play gentle music if you prefer. Please make sure to MUTE yourself).
- Yogic breathing instructed throughout.
- 15-20 mins savasana with guided meditation designed to take you into deeper relaxation.
- I will end the zoom session for you so you do not have get up until you are ready.
Due to the intention of this practice, there will not be a community chat after class. Instead, you have the option to join a 30mins scheduled discussion 1 week prior to the series, and 1 week after.
SUITABLE SPOON LEVEL - INTENSITY LEVEL
This series is suitable for all 'Spoon Levels'.
You are encouraged to practice within your own unique level and modifications will be shown for each pose.
For those with more severe symptoms, it is recommended that you have a personal helper to assist in setting up your space and potentially props.

- Yoga bolster
