Restore. Relax. Receive. with Jenn Shull

Restorative yoga is a passive, meditative form of yoga that allows you to focus on your breath while releasing tension in your body. In restorative yoga, you hold poses for an extended time, typically anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Props are heavily used in this class, so you can rest comfortably. (It’s not uncommon for people to fall asleep!) In addition to the physical body, restorative yoga supports your emotional body, internal processes, and nervous system. Think shifting the system from “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest”.

Yoga Nidra is a guided auditory meditation technique also known as non sleep deep rest, NSDR. Yoga nidra is often referred to as the sleepless sleep because it induces a state between being awake and being asleep known as the hypnagogic state in which the mind and body deeply relax. This powerful state on the threshold of being asleep and awake can be used for many purposes, including but not limited to deep relaxation, stress management, hormone rebalancing, releasing memories locked in the subconscious and unconscious, and creating an expanded state of consciousness.
