Restorative Yoga with Reiki

Most of the yoga classes represent an active practice of various intensity in which you move from pose to pose, building heat and increasing your strength and flexibility. Restorative yoga is something completely different. It’s about slowing down and opening the body through passive stretching while relaxing into the comfort of such props as blocks, bolsters, and blankets. If you take a restorative class, you may hardly move at all, doing just a few postures in the course of an hour or hour an a half. Restorative classes are very meditative and slow paced, making them a great complement to more active practices and an excellent antidote to stress.

This class includes Reiki offering.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words – “Rei” which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and “Ki” which is “life force energy”.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.
