Restorative Yoga

Service Category: Yogic Practices for Sattva and Swastha

Sattva is the natural state of a balanced mind and Swastha is a balanced state of bodily health. You will meet with a clinician who specializes in Sattvavaja Chikitsa (Practices for Mind) or Ayurveda Yoga Chikitsa (Yoga Therapy). Yoga is part of Ayurveda and in these sessions, the focus will be on how to process undigested emotions, relieving stress, overcoming limiting beliefs, and gaining the ability to have better concentration, focus, and mental clarity. Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy techniques include counseling and active listening. Gross body techniques may include poses, restorative poses, or practices for the mind and subtle body such as pranayama, meditation, and mantra.

An Ayurvedic clinician who is also a certified yoga teacher will guide you through a variety of gentle and restorative yoga poses using props (like blankets, bolsters, and blocks) to support each pose. Relaxing totally without effort, your nervous system can experience the parasympathetic state of relaxation and digestion. These calming and quieting sessions are for all levels and can help mitigate a vata imbalance (that shows up through a variety of symptoms including dryness of skin, hair, ears, lips, joints; bloating, gas, constipation, dehydration, weight loss; or restlessness/dizziness).
