Restore with Amir - Sun & Moon Yoga
Restore with Amir
Sunday, April 27, 2025
2:00 PM 4:00 PM
Restorative yoga is a practice that is focused on slowing down and opening your body through passive, supported stretching. During the long holds of restorative yoga, your muscles and connective tissues are allowed to relax and elongate deeply. It’s a unique feeling because props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body while being challenged by yoga poses. Supported in this way, your body lets go, with your mind effortlessly and comfortably following. At the end of the workshop, your body may feel open, refreshed, and restored.

Life can be draining. Are you always waiting for the weekend or a vacation to get recharged? Is it possible you are expending more energy than necessary to get through your days? In this workshop, learn how to build a storehouse, or "bank account," of energy that can provide stamina and ease throughout your daily life. By beginning to let go of perfectionism, learning to pace yourself, and focusing on a more effective breathing pattern, you can build this account and draw what you need from it, whenever you need it. Through lecture, yoga movement, and breathing practices, we will explore the body's ability to maintain its vitality, and carry you in just the ways you need.
