Life can get hectic at times, as there are many things that are out of our control. Meditation is a simple, yet very effective way of calming our minds and changing them for the better. By developing a meditation practice, you will learn the habits of your mind as a means to cultivate a more positive way of being.

Let Yourself Rest...Slowly, Gently, Deeply.

Restorative is within itself a very healing practice and in this workshop we include the cradling and lengthening benefits that the aerial silks offer to relax deeper and to let go more.
 
We'll use the silks to get into deep stretches and hold them for an extended amount of time to allow the pose to affect not only our muscles, but to lengthen and strength the connective tissue, circulate synovial fluide, and lengthen our spine. You'll also experience a deep and lasting state of relaxation as this practice also calms your central nervous system.
 
Benefits of Aerial Restorative Yoga:

• Calms the central nervous system.
• Boosts the immune system.
• Increases flexibility.
• Increases range of motion in joints.
• Tractions out the spine.
• Strengthens and lengthens connective tissue.
• Enhances mood states, helping with anxiety and depression.
