Every Thursday evening
* From 6:30 – 7:45 PM

Fee: $16 studio class (Free for CYC Members)

Doctors recommend meditation for stress reduction. This peaceful class is designed to quiet your mind and is suitable for everyone who can get down on the floor. Supported by the wall, bolsters and blankets, these restorative postures help you release muscular tension, while mindful meditation helps clear mental clutter.

 

“I often refer to restorative yoga poses as “active relaxation. By supporting the body with props, we alternately stimulate and relax the body to move toward balance. Some poses have an overall benefit. Others target an individual part, such as the lungs or heart. All create specific physiological responses which are beneficial to health and can reduce the effects of stress-related disease.”
