The setup for Sunday’s Restorative Yoga practice.

I initially had the space set up for six people, and was unexpectedly surprised to see the room flood with double as many people in need of restoration.

There is something profoundly beautiful about creating a space where people are encouraged to allow in stillness and rest.

As the facilitator, my intention is to help each student find complete comfort by allowing the body to release effort, and give them permission to do absolutely nothing in this moment. Reminding them that the deepest healing isn’t always found in movement, but sometimes in stillness.

Restorative Yoga was born from the understanding that healing doesn’t always come through effort. Inspired by the therapeutic teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar and developed by Judith Hanson Lasater, this practice reminds us that when the body is fully supported, it can soften, restore, and simply breathe again.

May we all remember that there is wisdom in stillness and strength in surrender.

Community Yoga this Sunday will be a Restorative Yoga practice, designed to allow the body and nervous system to soften, release tension, and restore balance. Tomorrow, June 20th at 9:00 AM, I’ll be joining True Nature on the front steps of Shryock Auditorium at SIU for 108 Sun Salutations to celebrate International Yoga Day!
