Hart Yoga

The Equinox represents the brief period that happens twice a year in which the day is evenly divided between daylight and darkness. It represents balance, fleeting thought it may be.

Balance, of course, doesn’t just mean standing on one leg. We balance the myriad activities we have crammed into our schedules (not all that well, more often than not!). We balance our budgets (hopefully!). We balance the time we spend with our families and the time we spent working. And the list goes on.

But just as day and night only rarely find that perfect balance, our lives seem to rarely hit the mark. Our activities, thoughts and emotions are whirling around out of balance to one degree or another.

Restorative yoga can help bring us back to the stillness that anchors our sense of balance. The entire practice focuses on quieting the body and the mind so that we can restore our innate tranquility and balance. All the poses are done on the floor, supported by bolsters, blankets and blocks so the body has the opportunity to release without stress or strain. We remain in the poses for 5-15 minutes to foster the deep relaxation that comes only with time.

Come experience for yourself the benefits of Restorative Yoga!
