Join us for a supported Relax & Unwind restorative yoga workshop to calm and reset. The support of props will allow you to completely relax and rest, while soothing the nervous system. We'll hold fewer poses, such as heart-openers and twists, for longer periods of time, and conclude with a lengthy savasana! Marta has studied with Judith Lasater and is a certified Relax and Renew trainer.
