JohnyG :) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:49:40 +0000

Rescheduled, Date May 5th, 3:00 – 5:00 pm
with Michelle Tamblyn (click for more info), Registered Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master

Restorative Yoga focuses on relaxing the body in resting postures. Rest provides the body an opportunity to renew and heal. Countless studies have proven the physical and emotional benefits.

This is a two-hour special class with assisted stretches, a hands-on class with lots of touch. It is especially beneficial for those who need to take special care with their bodies because of arthritis or physical limitations, those who have had injuries or are recovering mobility from injury. Anyone can do this practice, it feels wonderful for people of all fitness levels. A Reiki Master, Michele will also include Reiki healing in the postures.

Restorative Yoga is done with a body pillow and other props so you are completely supported in each pose. The poses are held for a longer period of time, allowing the body to relax and restore in the practice. This can be a healing experience and the Reiki energy will assist in the process. Please feel free to bring any of your own props if you have them.

The cost is $30 and space is very limited. Pre-registration is required.
Please call the office at 954-530-6006 to sign up.

Restorative yoga, as well as other forms of yoga, help to trigger the Parasympathetic nervous system. The PNS is responsible for balancing the body and bringing its response system back into equilibrium. Stimulating the PNS helps to lower heart rate and blood pressure; it helps to healthily stimulate the immune system and keep the endocrine system operating healthily.

When this system gets out of whack, or when the Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) gets over-stimulated, the PNS helps to bring all back in balance.

It is believed that when the PNS is exhausted or under-active, illness pervades. Thus, forms of relaxation, such as yoga and meditation, that help to stimulate the PNS are generally beneficial for overall body health.
