Yoga, especially the slow, gentle yoga of Yin and Restorative are proven to help slow brain waves, calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety and pain, and deepen relaxation. These classes are half Yin, focussing on soft tissue stretching, and half Restorative which opens a space for full surrender to the breath and deep relaxation with the use of lots of props to support the body. This is a slow practice, either seated, kneeling or supine, on the mat where we hold poses for 3-6 minutes and allow for stillness of body and mind. Over time these practices help us live with more ease!
