One of the many known benefits of yoga practice is nervous system regulation. In fact, the promise of stress relief is what leads many people to choose yoga over exercise like running and CrossFit.
If you’ve been to a yoga class, you may be familiar with those blissful moments of spacious calm and ease as you come to sit after a satisfying practice.
But exactly what is it about yoga that makes it so effective at soothing an overstimulated nervous system? More importantly, how can we use the tools of yoga to bring ourselves into balance regularly? Not just in those fleeting moments on a yoga mat.
Join me today for a restorative practice that will focus on twists. Twisting poses with a restorative focus will help you move into that place of "rest and digest," which is the domain of your parasympathetic nervous system response.
If you have a pillow or yoga bolster and a blanket, please bring those to class. If you don't, come anyway, and I'll offer an alternate posture that will support you.
I look forward to seeing you at 4:00pm EST!
