RESTORATIVE CLASSES

 This is Melody’s favorite restorative practice. Best suited for those whose energy tends to rise and who need stillness with the heart facing up. This practice opens the back from the top and works it way down providing fabulous chest and shoulder opening with a strong focus on back extension. Includes two types of Restorative Bridge, Supported Fish, restorative twists followed by Restorative Child’s Pose. Enjoy! 

Class Description: If you are an earth born baby and find it difficult to lay still in a restorative class, this one is for you. Class starts with soft movements and leads to restorative twists, Restorative Child and belly on the bolster; there is movement in between the stillness and lots of crossover work. 

Class Description: Class begins in Supported Fish, moves to side bodies and Restorative Child; after 45 minutes of stillness, class continues with soft integrative movements of Down Dog, Gate, Spinal Balance, Poster Girl, Thread the Needle and Happy Baby done in an infinity pattern, followed by movement for the cervical spine.

Class Description: A morning restorative class that begins with a short standing series to awaken the body and moves quickly to Restorative Child and belly on the bolster, followed by integrative movement; class ends with Restorative Fish to restorative twists done with a bolster, to rolling Forward Folds to end class.
