Celebrate and honor the new moon time with a deep restorative yoga practice accompanied by the healing vibrations of live sitar.
A restorative yoga practice during the New Moon and Vata phase of the lunar cycle is best for balancing an overworked mind, hormones, emotions and energy.
Once a month surrounding the new moon time at SARF we host a deep restorative practice as part of our Community Yoga series. A restorative practice is truly meant for any level of practitioner. Each pose is supported by props to create a safe and supported release. While in the postures you will be guided through nourishing breath meditation and live music.
Restorative Yoga is great for those who are:
Wanting to slow things down
Beginners
Recovering from injury
