Gentle & Restorative Yoga

Gentle & Restorative Yoga Combo Class
with Larissa D’Silva

Thursdays from 11:30—12:45pm

Need a break in your week? We’ll begin with thirty minutes of gentle movement, followed by a relaxing and calm restorative yoga practice.

This class focuses on the needs of students who are:

  • Experiencing fatigue, persistent pain, or stress

  • Post-surgery or post-injury, and looking to ease back into movement after being given the ok by their care team

  • Craving a slow and quiet yoga practice

  • New to yoga

The goals of this class are to:

  • Reduce stress levels through slow, mindful movement, gentle breathing, and relaxation

  • Improve how your joints move and feel

  • Increase body awareness

A typical class will begin reclined, with a focus on breath. We’ll slowly introduce gentle movements and stretches for about thirty minutes. We’ll then support our body with blankets and yoga bolsters in comfortable Restorative yoga shapes to help relieve excess tension and muscle tightness.

There will be no weight-bearing on wrists or knees in this class (e.g., lunges, downward dog), and most of the class will be spent low to the floor. Variations and options are always offered, and students are welcomed and encouraged to listen to what their body needs in each moment.

*This slow-paced class is accessible for anyone who can comfortably get down onto the floor.
