Restorative Yoga & Acupuncture

In our two-hour workshop, we will be exploring themes of supporting ourselves through transitions. We will be invited into meditation and Restorative Yoga poses that will be accompanied by acupuncture at the final 30 minutes. Restorative yoga is a style of yoga that involves the use of props and holding postures for an extended period of time. This practice invites nourishment to the nervous system with a calming and warm environment. This offering is open to everyone. Beginners to either Restorative Yoga or acupuncture are welcome.
