back bending, twists). Classes will build to one or two
challenging poses, with alternatives offered for those with

| RESTORATIVE YOGA-Thurs 4:00 |
If you want to "relax" in yoga, this is the class for you. We
do very little movement but lots of relaxing. We use many
props such as blocks, bolsters, straps, blankets and eye
bags to support us in various postures. In one hour we
may change positions only 6 or 7 times. You'll hear some
nice music, maybe some beautiful poetry and you'll leave
feeling totally renewed.
It's about learning to relax the body and mind, learning to
"be" rather than to "do", and learning to be truely present
in your own body. It's rejuvenation, relaxation and renewal.
