Un-do stress, re-energize, and find balance through this practice that in skillful way blends Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.
Gentler on the joints and fascia than Yin Yoga, Restorative is a profoundly soothing experience that restores your body and mind to its equilibrium through a process of deeply relaxing postures. On its part, Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a simple yet powerful body-centered meditative technique that promotes health, healing, and well-being. Research has shown that it effectively reduces post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety and chemical dependency. The classes are suitable for all, no experience is requiered.
RESTORATIVE+NIDRA YOGA con ALMA skillfully weaves mantras, selected restorative postures, aromatherapy, and special breathing techniques to help you unwind. Resting comfortably on bolsters and blankets, you will relax into your mat and be carried in a semi-conscious and deeply soothing state in which the physical body can let go of tension entirely. Then you will be verbally guided in a "yogic sleep" state of profound calm and rest. After the session you will feel serene, rested, and rejuvenated.
These are responsive and interactive online sessions via Zoom; you will also have access to the recording for 3 days.

It is natural to breath… ¿right? Yes, but breathing right is not something we do innately. Most of us are chest breathers, shallow breathers, mouth breathers, hyperventilate, often feel breathless, or create unnecessary tension in other body parts as we respire. Plenty of scholarly research has documented that insufficient or improper breathing habits can cause functional disturbances and even illnesses, while good breathing enhances our quality of life. In these individualized sessions you will become aware of your breathing patterns and learn techniques that will help you control, refine and improve your respiration, augment your breathing capacity, sooth your nervous system, improve respiratory, cardiovascular and immune function, and increase your vitality and well-being.
