Learn how to share the gift of slowing down for yourself and your students. Create a space to stop working to control bodymind and rest with support, awareness, and intention. This deep, conscious rest is possible with Restorative Yoga. This practice can support overwhelm and exhaustion, aid in injury recovery, and support overall health. Integrating pranayama in these restful shapes, we work with the nervous system to develop resiliency in the face of day-to-day stress.
When given the opportunity for deep and purposeful rest, we can experience what caring for ourselves really feels like as we create a space to be still, be quiet, listen inward, and be held. This is where the healing can happen!

Your facilitator, Carrie Dennison has been immersing herself in these practices and teachings of Restorative Yoga for the past 7 years. She is a registered E-RYT with Yoga Alliance. Carrie has discovered the importance of self-care to bring attention to the busy parts of life to find a slower pace and more moments of peace. In sharing the practice of restorative yoga and pranayama as a tool for activating the parasympathetic nervous system, there is an innate ability to decrease stress and anxiety and live a more full life.
