Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. It focuses on the body’s process of releasing tension and relaxing through the use of a few select poses and props.

We will use 3 poses with props – a backbend, a twist and a supported savasana – along with our breath, to activate our Parasympathetic Nervous system (i.e. our Rest & Digest state) and move into that state of ‘inner letting go’.

Overcoming Anxiety

This special and unique audiovisual workshop has been designed to help us understand anxiety and fear during these very challenging times.

The workshop will start by an audiovisual introduction of how anxiety manifests itself in our bodies and mind and the several ways by which it is exhibited—anger, crying, feelings of loss of control, depression and feeling stuck. The forms anxiety takes are delineated into three categories. For each category, empowering self-regulating tools specific to that category are taught to manage and alleviate difficult moments.

Yoga Nidra is a systematic method for achieving total muscular, mental and emotional relaxation via a guided meditation practice. Practicing Yoga Nidra regularly, over time, yields enormous physical and psychological benefits.

The Yoga Nidra taught in this workshop is the authentic practice derived from Swami Satyananda’s extensive study of the tantras and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The other forms of Yoga Nidra taught today by different studios and meditation centers are not based on this knowledge and have varying degrees of effectiveness.

For the first time in this area Washington Yoga Center, a studio like no other, is offering Yoga Nidra as it is meant to be. Try it and find out for yourself the difference a genuine practice makes!
