Relax and Rejuvenate

Relax and rejuvenate as your body is placed in gentle, supported asanas (poses) with the use of props, allowing your mind to truly let go. When your body is at rest and your mind becomes calm, you can experience the peace within.
This workshop offers complete instruction in gentle restorative poses, as well as:

Balanced sequences of Restorative Yoga Poses
Yoga practices for stress management, relaxation, and rejuvenation
Gentle poses that enhance the breathing capacity
Simple poses for everyday practice
Healing aspects of Restorative Yoga

Since the poses are supported by props, they can be held effortlessly for an extended period of time. This results in a state of deep relaxation, where the innate intelligence of the body becomes balanced and the entire system returns to its natural state. The supported poses are also beneficial during times of major life changes, crises, or when recovering from an illness or injury.

All props will be supplied. This program is open to students of all levels and styles of Yoga. Individual assistance will be available.   
Personalized Support from Senior Instructors
During the retreat, you will have the opportunity to seek support and clarification from senior Integral Yoga instructors. Private mentoring is also available.
All Are Welcome
These retreats are open to everyone, from beginners to advanced Yoga retreatants. Those who are new to meditation or Yoga practices will receive full instruction, while those with experience will have the opportunity to deepen their practice.
