Zoom Yinstorative Yoga Therapy

Service Description

Meet your whole self – body, mind, emotions, spirit, and breath where you are through a practice of compassionate presence and honoring your individual needs. The extended time in the forms allows you to explore and choose what will serve you best – yin yoga methods to nurture your connective tissue and create more space and ease or highly supportive restorative yoga methods to allow the whole self to self-heal and replenish. You can even choose somewhere in between – it is your practice! Learn additional ancient tools from yogic and shamanic practices including breathing exercises, meditation, mantras, mudras, and even complimentary modalities such as tapping, acupressure, self-massage, myofascial release, and more. This is a MUST for anyone battling chronic pain, depression, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, or anyone negatively impacted by an overactive or dysfunctional nervous system no matter the cause. All are welcome in this trauma-informed, body-neutral space regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, mobility, size, experience, religion, socioeconomic class, etc. This practice generally takes place on the floor, no mat or standing is necessary. Participation from bed or utilizing two sturdy chairs without wheels is also welcome. If you feel you would benefit from this service but truly cannot afford it, please reach out. There may be funds available to offset some of the costs for those in need. E-mails with the Zoom invite will be sent out approximately 15-minutes before class begins. The sessions will be recorded and made accessible to you for one week within 24 hours of the end of the live class. Recordings will be paused during any check-in or community shares for your privacy. If you have special requests or need accommodations or modifications you do not wish to share with the group, you are encouraged to DM Kristi in the Zoom chat to let her know. There are 2 in-person slots available for this session on a first-to-sign-up basis. Sign up as usual and then send an e-mail to optimal wellness yoga AT gmail dot com with no spaces requesting to be in-person and you will receive the address and instructions. We are located in Springfield, VA about 1 mile from the Saratoga Park & Ride, the intersection of Rolling Rd. and Fullerton, and Lorton Station.
