Explore physical and energetic methods; using linguistics and presence to set the tone.

Restorative Yoga and Deep Listening is a weekend-long program that draws upon subtle energy awareness and experience to bring each student into a layer of balance. Using asana, pranayama, meditation, visualization, ecology, and art the practitioner/student can construct individual recovery processes that speak directly to their needs. This training will encourage each student to guide and be guided in a restorative fashion.
