A collaboration with Anna Hadad and Francesca Valarezo

A soothing restorative yoga practice to start your week with a balanced nervous system. This workshop is an invitation to breathe, restore and balance your energy. The intention is to reconnect with your physical, spiritual and energetic bodies.

Restorative yoga is a form of somatic healing and fascia stretching that relaxes the body and opens up the joints and connective tissue. We will practice gentle breathwork exercises as a way to reconnect to our life force, and I will offer hands on Reiki to improve energy flow in our mind, body and being. We will rest in restorative yoga stretches that will leave you feeling supported, clear and deeply connected to your most authentic self.

Restorative yoga and Reiki benefits might include: deeper sleep, improved metabolism, a more calm outlook on stressful situations, improved energy flow, a clearer mind, joint and back care and deep tissue release. Walk out with a relaxed body, a calm mind, and enhanced mood.

Both healing practices offer great insight when done together!
