Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation

and massage of the organs, in turn, benefits us by keeping away disease

and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset

of disease or disorder.

INSTRUCTOR

Yoga offers a complete detoxification

of the body by massaging and

“wringing out” the organs.

It is perhaps the only exercise that can work on your internal organs in

such a thorough manner. It ensures

the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body and flushes out

toxins from every corner of your

body. This leads to benefits such as delayed aging, energy

and a zest for life.

Yoga is known to increase flexibility by offering postures that loosen

and lubricate the different joints of

the body including those joints that are not acted upon with regular

exercise routines.

Yoga also increases the range of

motion of various ligaments and tendons aiding in flexibility which

prevents injury and chronic pain.

Personal Attention

You Deserve Enjoy a nurturing kind of

personalized attention where instructors focus on helping you adapt poses to fit your

own needs.

We are trained to notice signs of effort or

discomfort so we can gently adjust your props to fully

support your relaxation.

Restorative

Yoga

The guiding principle of restorative yoga is that support creates release. Every pose is a variation on that theme, and the aim of each pose is the same: relaxation. The most obvious feature of a restorative yoga class is the array of props: blankets, bolsters and blocks support the body to release muscular tension. Equally important, though less obvious, is our skilled instructors who strive to create an atmosphere that encourages students to let go of

mental and physical stress. Props are provided and available for purchase for home use.

AS WITH ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, IT IS BEST TO

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING

You will learn there are no rules for how

to use props, as long as they serve the

function of support. We enjoy the

challenge of creatively finding ways to

support each student’s unique body. Our

gentle hands-on touch is never corrective

and assistance is offered as suggestions,

rather than commands.

At Tree of Life, we understand the need to let go of the stresses of everyday

life— our nurturing instructors provide a yoga practice that goes well beyond

relaxing stretches. We embrace our

students by providing a supportive

environment where you are encouraged to relax and restore.

In a Restorative Yoga class, poses are typically held for several

minutes, an internal retreat, with long stretches of silence that

facilitate the process of relaxation. Students may be guided through

breath awareness, inviting them to notice each inhalation and

exhalation enhanced by our 100% organic aromatherapy eye pillows.

Instructors also utilize guided visualization techniques which provide

an active mental task to enhance relaxation.

As the class progresses, students will relax more deeply in each new

pose, with minimal transitions that build toward progressively longer

holds. Instructors provide students specific verbal instructions on how

to mindfully move props and find their way out of poses which

eliminates confusion and frustration. Students are peacefully

encouraged to come out of each pose at their own pace to ensure

maximum comfort and relaxation.
