SLOW SOMAFLOW & RESTORE - NO CLASS 11/27

Class Description

A gentle class that offers an opportunity to slow down, rest and rejuvenate. Experience the healing power of somatic movement, self-massage and restorative asana through mindful explorations of breath and body. Set everything else aside and create space to recalibrate and attune to the innate wisdom of your soul. This class is a combination of slow, gentle movement and restorative yoga. Restorative yoga uses props to fully support the body, provide comfort and encourage release without strain. Poses are held for 10 minutes or longer to calm the nervous system and promote deep relaxation. The word Soma has multiple meanings. In Sanskrit, it derives from the root "Su" meaning "to extract, press, distill" and refers to the subtle nectar of eternal flowing life force, the inner essence that nourishes vitality and bliss. It also refers to a literal drink, a divine elixir of the gods that imparts immortality, and is related to the cooling, nourishing energy of the moon. In Greek, Soma means "body" and refers to the living body, as opposed to the Psyche, or soul. In this way, the soma is our living body, the vessel of our soul.
