Summer Restorative Classes will be offered Friday July 11, & August 8th, 5:30p-6:30p – Restorative yoga helps to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system and is responsible for balancing the body and bringing its response system back into equilibrium. It also helps to lower heart rate and blood pressure, stimulate the immune system, and keep the endocrine system operating efficiently and is beneficial for overall body health. We will be holding each pose for up to 10 minutes with the support of various props, such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, sandbags, and straps. This class will be offered one Friday a month on the following dates: July 11 and August 8. The drop-in fee for this class is $8.00.
