Have you ever tried Restorative Yoga? At first it seems like you're just laying around for long periods of time. The first time I took one Somewhere in the middle of the class I began feeling really comfortable and good. Then I started looking forward to that class. It was a six week special class. Jamie has begun offering a Restorative Yoga class on Tuesdays at 7pm. It is very relaxing and healing.
Restorative yoga has some great benefits and has been studied by National Institute of Health. It reduces stress and cortisol. There is even evidence (the NIH study) that it can help with weight loss due to the lowering of cortisol. Even though it is passive, it is energizing. It helps to balance the mind and the body. The poses are usually propped with blankets and blocks, and they are held for longer periods of time, perhaps 5 – 20 minutes. We often receive requests for restorative yoga so we thought we'd try a class. It is great for everyone....beginners to advanced.
