Restorative Yoga: Breathe, Heal and Rest Deeply with Britt Fohrman April 18, 2010

Receive whatever kind of restoration your body, mind or soul is in need of, as you surrender to the nurturing stillness and quiet of Restorative Yoga.

The focus of this gentle practice is to create a foundation of mental, emotional and physical relaxation that resonates into all aspects of your life. Through supported poses, breath awareness and simple meditation techniques, we'll restore health and vitality to the body and mind. From this still place, the body is more able to access its natural ability to cleanse, heal, rest, sleep, grow, conceive and build immunities.

This workshop is open to yogis of all backgrounds, levels, sizes and ages. No yoga experience is necessary, just come with the willingness to be still and present with yourself. The deep surrender cultivated here is incredibly useful for women preparing to release into the intensity, mystery and power of giving birth, thus pregnant women (who already have an established yoga practice) are encouraged to attend. New parents, people with chronic illnesses, headaches, and discomfort, as well as people that tend to nurture everyone but themselves are also welcomed.

Participants are invited to contact Britt directly with specific questions, requests or concerns at: [email protected]

Please bring your own eye pillow. If you'd like an eye pillow, you may purchase one in our studio retail boutique.

COST: $45

Britt's greatest joy is found in sharing her love of yoga with a wide variety of people. She encourages her students to approach yoga as a way of life, to practice with a beginner's mind, with loving kindness and with sincerity. Her unique style of teaching places a strong emphasis on alignment, sequencing, breath and inner awareness, while her approach is imbued with warmth, humor and honesty. Since 1993, Britt has studied primarily Iyengar Yoga, though she weaves influences of other traditions, especially Viniyoga and Vipassana (Buddhist Insight) Meditation, into her teaching. Her specialty lies in working with pregnant women and new mothers, where she also employs her skills as a photographer, birth doula, and body worker. Along with being an avid surfer, Britt loves to do headstands on mountaintops and beaches all around the world. After witnessing tremendous healing within herself through Restorative Yoga, Britt was inspired to become certified to teach Restorative Yoga by Judith Lasater. Though she now enjoys an active practice as well, Restorative Yoga continues to be the foundation of her well being.
