**THIS EVENT IS UNFORTUNATELY CANCELED**
Restorative Yoga is about slowing down and using passive postures to open your body without using any muscle effort. Its a practice of giving ourselves time to become re-acquainted with our body and mind. We'll use many props (blankets, bolsters, blocks etc.) to make our bodies fully supported so as to provide the opportunity for deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

MyoYin Yoga & Yoga Nidra are a match made in relaxation heaven! These Self-Care Sunday offerings are held on the first Sunday of each month. Whether you take one or both classes, you're sure to leave feeling super relaxed!
~~~
MyoYin Yoga is 75 minutes of deep passive stretching in yin yoga stillness combined with soothing self-myofascial massage with therapy balls ('myo' is from 'myofascia': myo = muscle, fascia = connective tissue), all ending with a relaxing sound bath savasana.
This class can help you to:
- increase flexibility
- reduce muscle tension
- find freedom in your fascia
- soothe your nervous system
- feel overall more relaxed and at ease in both body and mind
Expect to learn techniques for self-myofascial release using Yoga Tune Up therapy balls both independent from and in combination with yin postures (poses held passively with little to no effort or movement for between 1-5 minutes each).
~~~
Yoga Nidra is a 45 minute fully-guided meditation experience that will quiet your mind and relax your body, right down to your innermost center. This practice (often referred to as "yoga naptime") requires no movement or experience. Expect to be guided verbally through layers of inner awareness toward profound relaxation - you'll awake from this practice feeling fully refreshed and renewed.

With the beautiful sounds of the Chakra Quartz Crystal Bowls, Shelly King will guide you thru an emotional uplifting meditation.
Crystal singing bowls are made from 99% quartz. The crushed quartz is heated to a degree where it can be shaped into bowls and then tuned to the desired notes. The properties of quartz in the crystal singing bowls offer you a very different kind of experience.
Quartz crystal is an amplifier and transmitter of thought, emotion, and intention. Quartz crystal amplifies the biofield, or human energy field, around you.
Sound is a very physical energy. As vibrational energy, it goes through you faster than it goes through the air. Sound is also food for your nervous system. Sound energy stimulates the release of hormones from your nervous system. These can be hormones that support health or dis-ease. The crystal singing bowl, is ethereal, simple, and cuts right to the heart of the matter.
