Weekly Class Theme: Yoga for Deep Rest

Unwind. Release. Restore.

Join us this week for a deeply calming Restorative Yoga class designed to nourish your nervous system, quiet the mind, and create space for healing through intentional stillness. Perfect for all levels, this gentle class invites you to slow down and reconnect through supported, prop-rich poses that allow the body to fully release.

This Week’s Restorative Yoga Sequence

In our upcoming class, we’ll explore a curated sequence of restorative yoga poses that emphasize comfort, breath, and deep rest. Each posture is thoughtfully supported with props to encourage total relaxation and minimal muscular effort.

1. Front Side Rest

We begin lying on the belly, with the head gently turned to one side and arms resting by the sides or stacked under the head. This grounding posture calms the body and brings awareness to the breath. A folded blanket can be placed under the chest or hips for extra support.

2. Side Rest with Pillows

Next, we transition into a side-lying pose, using pillows between the knees and under the head for alignment and comfort. This position nurtures the spine and is especially comforting for those needing extra care in the hips or lower back.

3. Mountain Brook Pose

A gentle heart-opener using rolled blankets or bolsters beneath the knees, along the spine, and under the head. This supported backbend encourages expansive breathing and helps release tension from the chest and shoulders.

4. Wide-Legged Forward Fold with Props

Seated in a wide-legged stance, you’ll fold forward with bolsters, blocks, or blankets supporting your torso. This passive stretch opens the hips, inner thighs, and lower back, while still inviting deep rest and ease.

5. Reclined Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana)

Lying on the back with the soles of the feet together and knees falling open, we’ll use blocks or cushions under the knees for full support. A bolster or blanket along the spine allows the chest to stay open and soft. This pose is especially nourishing for the heart and hips.

6. Savasana with Eye Pillow & Neck Support

We close with an extended Savasana, using an eye pillow for sensory withdrawal and a rolled blanket placed under the base of the skull for subtle traction and comfort. This final rest seals in the benefits of your practice and invites the body into a parasympathetic state of healing.
