RESTORATIVE HATHA YOGA – Instructor Audrey Bell-Hiller, BA

The instructor will ask everyone in the class about their limitations and answer any questions they may have about the class or movements.

 

WARM UP – Restorative yoga postures require muscles to be warmed to promote renewal for tight muscles.

        

 

LOWER BODY/ UPPER BODY 

Both lower and upper body postures are needed to provide range of motion for the entire body.
Concentration is given to shoulders and neck, chest, spine to allow the muscles to become more flexible.  You will learn to modify yoga postures using blocks, belts and other props to allow each person to practice within the limits of their body.

     

  

 

COOL DOWN STRETCHING – When seated we continue with more relaxed postures doing more concentrated movements.

   

 

BREATHING EXERCISES –

This class has a clear emphasis throughout to teach the importance of taking deep full breaths to send oxygen to our muscles.  We end the class laying on our mats while concentrating on breath.
Many of our students say this is their favorite posture to allow them to be fully relaxed and energized.
