Join Allison in the studio each Thursday evening in March from 7-8pm in the studio. Align your physical and mental state through gentle movements and deep postures held for extensive periods of time in restorative yoga. This practice can alleviate stress, enhance flexibility, and deeply relax the muscles. In restorative yoga, you will slow down, focus on your breath and still your mind. Feel free to bring props such as bolsters, blankets or eye masks. Restorative yoga is suitable for all.
