Activity Information
"The body holds the mind, just as the mind contains the body. In a deep quietude, the mind can free the body of its holding, just as deep grounding and surrender the body can unlock the deepest secrets of the mind" Stephe Levine
During the day we shrink from lack of breathing, lack of time, lack of attention, lack of kindness. The grip of our muscles, grip around our breath, grip around our life stories is held by the habitual tendency of our mind to be elsewhere, to have things otherwise, to strive for what we don’t have. Immersed in the sea of constant “doing” we miss just resting in the state of simple being, time in which we allow all the "doing" to stop.
Restorative yoga emphasizes relaxation and letting go through slow-paced practice supported by props. To work its magic, restorative yoga relies on eight key relaxation-inducing conditions: physical comfort, muscle release, warm skin, a reclined or inverted posture, darkness, pressure on the bones around the eyes, permission to relax, and holding the pose for a sufficient amount of time (5-10 mins each). All that is complemented by mindfulness, breathwork and a simple yoga massage practice.
The workshop is an open invitation to pause, to unwind the grip of our everyday life and learn how to enter a deep yet attentive state of relaxation. By consciously coming back to this state of deep ease, we can establish a familiar feeling tone that we can return to over and over again. When we allow the body and mind to come to rest in the moment, no matter what is "on" our mind or how our body feels, we can tune in to the basic experience of living and simply allow ourselves to be in the moment with things exactly as they are, without trying to change anything...and then everything changes...
