Dharma Gentle Yoga ~ Gentle and Restorative

Enjoy a meditative, healing, restorative Dharma Gentle Yoga asana sequence with stretching and deep guided relaxation. The pace of the class is slow and gentle. No experience required, but individuals need to be able to get up and down from the mat.

I very much enjoy sharing my practice and teaching this beautiful sequence in which we move conscientiously and slowly with the breath. The entire practice is a meditation. It is my go to practice when I want to relax and rejuvenate. Whether you are new to Yoga, recovering from injury or illness or an experienced yogi, you will benefit from this practice.*

We need Yoga now more than ever. We are all experiencing change and uncertainty in this world as we’ve known it. Each of us will experience this differently, but likely we all have some level of stress, anxiety, loss and fear. We are all seeking ways to restore our sense of wellbeing and find our path to healing.

Evidence based science has demonstrated the value of a Yoga practice in our everyday lives. Some of the benefits of a regular practice include:

• Stress Reduction
• Improves Breathing
• Relieves Anxiety
• Helps with Depression
• Helps Reduce Inflammation
• Promotes Heart Health
• Helps with Chronic Pain
• Improves Quality of Life
• Promotes Healthy Eating Habits

Before you begin, gather your props.  You will need your yoga mat, blanket, block or bolster and a sturdy straight back or folding chair.
