Restorative Yoga
with Linda Hamilton
We will begin with some stretches and gentle movements to prepare, then we will do some reclined or seated poses. Using props like bolsters, blocks and blankets to support us, we will relax into each pose for 3-5 minutes where we will find a wonderful stillness in the body and mind. This activates the relaxation response in the nervous system. It restores the body’s immune system and has many other benefits. Please bring a yoga mat and any props you might have such as blocks, bolsters, blankets or towels. VOC Center / Great Room
