Yin Restorative Yoga encourages the use of props. For class make sure you have a strap (belt or scarf will do), yoga block (or book), eye pillow, and pillows, rolled up towels etc. for various areas of support.
Please join us for a stress relieving hour of gentle exercise and relaxation.
Each session ends with a guided meditation.
