Taught by Kari Jacobsen & Michelle Cordero

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

Join Kari and Michelle for a deeply relaxing and restorative practice designed to help your nervous system adjust to seasonal change.    

Class features a simple Yin and Restorative yoga practice, during which Kari and Michelle will offer nurturing hands-on work inspired by trainings in Cranio Sacral Therapy. Feel first-hand the power of more quiet practices of yoga. Kari will guide you through a series of long stays in yin and restorative poses. As you learn to relax the body into the moment, through support from props and mindful awareness to sensation, the mind becomes more attentive to the body. Beneath the typical thought patterns and through the body's language of sensation lives our inner wisdom... a place that knows what's right for you and how to live healthily. In this practice Kari and Michelle will spend quality time working with each student in gentle touch that encourages the body into progressive relaxation.

Class limited to a small group to maximize hands-on attention to each student. All levels welcome, no matter your flexibility, fitness level or experience.
