Restorative Respite

Restorative Respite is a practice of stillness and release. We'll begin by softening muscles and connective tissues that contribute to pain and tension with the slow, simple movements of Somatic Yoga. Afterwards we ease into the restful, passive practice of Restorative Yoga. Resting in yoga poses while completely supported by props, allows your muscles to release into a state of deep relaxation, calming the mind and settling your nervous system. Fewer postures are practiced with poses being held for 5-10 minutes each depending on the posture. Our class finishes in deep relaxation with a fusion of guided meditation, mindfulness, and yoga nidra (yogic sleep). Expect to remain on the floor in seated or reclined positions throughout.
Class is 90 minutes long. Evening facilitated by Clarissa Boggess (she/her) Cost to attend: $30 Limited to 12 participants |

Welcome to our monthly community discussion group!
First Sundays we gather for community satsang: spiritual reflection, discourse, and exploration. Offered in a reverent but relaxed fashion, this is a time to connect with community and engage in discussion as we delve into topics, practices, and spiritual systems that facilitate personal growth and understanding. Folks from all philosophical, religious, and spiritual backgrounds are welcome. This is a free community offering however donations are gratefully accepted. * No special supplies required * You may want to bring a journal or notebook * Dress comfortably - we will be seated or reclined the majority of the time. Chairs, bolsters, blankets, mats, and blocks are available for your comfort. Satsang: translates loosely to "in the company of truth". Historically, satsang referred only to a gathering in the presence of a true enlightened being, or satguru. In modern times, satsang has evolved to mean any gathering in which spiritual reflection, discussion, meditation or teaching takes place. |
