Mindfulness Workshops

Restorative Yoga Workshop, led by Paula Huffman BS, RN, ERYT, Mindfulness Instructor

Sponsored by the Program on Integrative Medicine

Restorative Yoga is a series of poses in which you are effortlessly and completely supported with bolsters, blankets and pillows. This practice creates a deeply relaxing, healing and meditative experience.

Restorative poses are sequenced to alternately stimulate and relax the body to move toward balance. Poses provide stretching of different areas of the body along with joint opening and muscle relaxation. The outcome is a general sense of deep relaxation, opening, self-awareness and rejuvenation. When the nervous system comes into a state of equilibrium, healing can occur.

While beneficial to all, Restorative Yoga is especially effective during times of increased stress related to illness, injury or major life changes. All levels of practitioners can benefit from this practice. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
