This is a restorative class; great if you’re experiencing or recovering from injury or illness, pre or post natal, extremely stressed or just craving a slow practice. Restorative postures are found to help with releasing muscular tension while balancing the nervous system. Expect to be in very supported and comfortable postures for 4 minutes each. *This is a great practice before bed!
Props: bolster or 2-3 pillows from bed + a block or rolled up blanket.

the stretch - neck + shoulders (30 mins)
Release the physical and mental tension thats wound up in the neck, shoulders and upper back. We work with gentle rotation of the upper spine and spend some time opening the chest that often bears the brunt of rounded shoulders.
Props: two blocks!

the stretch - mindful (30 mins)
I wanted you as present as possible for this practice; you'll find that each posture, I guide you through gentle breathwork (simple counts, 4 in and out). Sometimes its nice to tune out and let someone even remind you when to breathe, you deserve that. We don't get up off of the mat for this one ...

the sequence - strong + stable (35 mins)
'strong + stable' is a balanced class that will get you the stretch you're looking for alongside stability. Move through a warm up and a fun sequence that includes low, high, forearm and side planks.
