This class is designed to foster embodiment and support you to feel a deeper connection with yourself, which calms your nervous system, mind and supports increased feelings of being centered and grounded.

Props:
yoga mat, blanket, flat pillow for under your head, eye pillow, bolster or chair

Benefits of this practice:
• Interrupt overactive thoughts and the cycle of future thinking that perpetuate more of this pattern.
• Learn how to shift energy from an upward direction (excess Udana Vayu) to a downward direction (increasing Apana Vayu) and inward direction (increasing Samana Vayu) in your body.
• Supports a rest and digest response in your nervous system, (parasympathetic response) which slows heart rate, decreases blood pressure, and releases muscular tension.
• Reduces cortisol which is the stress hormone in your body that rises when you get agitated or stressed.
• Allows you to practice mindfulness as a way to bring your attention back to the present moment.
