The Rocket Restorative Yoga class is an 80-minute practice held on Wednesdays from 6:20-7:40. We will start with the "Rocket" which is a warming solar practice, with its roots based in Ashtanga yoga. It is a dynamic, fast-moving series that connects the warming breath with the movements. This class will transition through a few restful and restorative yoga asana poses utilizing props and a bolster. Yogis will be led through a yoga nidra (yoga sleep) meditation in preparation for savasana (final resting pose). We will finish with a meditation practice for a well-rounded full yoga practice. This class is for beginners with some experience through intermediate yogis.

The engaging and warming solar practice helps the practitioner rest more deeply in the restorative practice for a full nervous system reset. This practice helps the body transition from the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system to the para-sympathetic so the body and mind can fully rest, digest, assimilate, restore and rejuvenate itself.

The teacher may utilize essential oils, offering eye pillows (which are weighted with therapeutic stones and are scented with relaxing lavender) and hot stones to participants for the last half of the class (never put anything hot on the eyes!) Please let Emily know if you have any sensitivities. Please dress in layers and keep your socks and sweater close by. Keeping the body warm for the last half of the practice is important. Feel free to bring your own yoga mat. If you don't have a yoga mat or forget, we have some you can use! Class is offered as a series is $20 please register through the online portal.
