  • Fast Forward to the 09:00 mark to start. This was a live class :)
    In this one hour restorative yoga class for deep renewal we will take the time to gently repair your worn-out, overwhelmed, anxious and run-down body and stressed out minds. Using props such as blankets, blocks and bolsters we will support your body in gentle, long held restorative postures that are deeply calming to help release tension and renew your energy when you are experiencing depletion.
    We live in a time of overwhelm, information overload, urgency and the struggle to have it all and do it all. The result is exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia and a lack of rest. Allow this restorative yoga class to offer you a space of deep relaxation and peace from the pressures and demands of your fast-paced life. An interlude of healing leisure and stillness to support you in regenerative healing and therapeutic rest.
    Restorative Yoga Sequence: Surfboard Pose, Front Lying Twist with Bolster, Stonehinge Relaxation Pose, Side Lying Savasana

    I’m surfing into the depths of the ocean of stillness. Melissa thank you very much for this jewel of class. By the time we did the third pose I felt the calmness in my body. When you asked us turn to the right for the last savassana , emotion inundated my soul; it brought me back to my childhood when my dear grandmother used to read poetry to me while cuddled in her arms.
    Namaste.

    I know this is over a year later, but I am watching from Georgia, U.S.A :) My husband is Canadian though, and we are waiting for approval on our immigration application for me to join him in Canada. It is extremely stressful and I've discovered restorative only recently as a way to relieve stress from it. It's a moment of bliss in my day when I don't have to think about it, or anything.

    I'm surfing into the depths of the ocean of stillness. I did this class yesterday evening. I honestly felt the tension release in the ground when doing these deep restorative yoga poses. It is really amazing how this class had replenished my energy since I was experiencing depletion. I must admit I have over working in my vegetable gardens and this class helped me feel more relaxed and calm.
    Thanks so much! Have a beautiful day!

    Thank you Melssa, this class was really nice - just wish my 14 year old son wasn't pounding his basketball doing slam dunks in his room, but even with this going on, I was able to experience great rest and have let go of my short temperedness after not sleeping well last night and pushing through a very productive day with work and family. I'm sure this will help me sleep better tonight. At the very least, stopped me having a glass of red wine mid week LOL
