Restorative Bodywork

The feel of fall is in the air this week. This time of year invites us to reflect, as temps become cooler, daylight shortens and our routines begin to shift. We can honor this by slowwwing down, paying attention to our bodies, eating well and focusing more on nourishing practices. In this weeks yoga classes we’ll be shifting into the yin/restorative aspects of our practice to help us find balance this season. How will you hold space for yourself in this seasonal shift into autumn?
