Restorative Yoga with Larissa

Restorative Yoga
with Larissa D’Silva

Thursdays from 11:30am—12:45pm

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

This class focuses on the needs of students who are:

Experiencing fatigue or chronic stress
Craving a still and quiet yoga practice

The goals of this class are to:

Reduce stress levels through slow, mindful movement, gentle breathing, and relaxation
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. This class includes longer holds and stillness.

If you are looking for strengthening or a more active class, please consider Explore Yoga.

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.

REFUND POLICY: Registration fees are non-refundable. To provide individualized attention and to build community, we keep class sizes small. Because your fee reserves your spot in the class for the session, registration fees are non-refundable.

MISSED CLASSES: Because your registration fee saves your spot in the class for the entire session, refunds and prorating are not available for missed classes. If you miss a class please contact Larissa if you’d like to attend one of her online classes as a make-up.

YOUR PRIVACY is important to us! The information submitted in the form is not stored in the CYC website. It is transmitted privately to your yoga teacher.
