Restorative Yoga with Live Harp

Saturday 14th June, 5:30pm-6:45pm

SOBA Studio, 359 Montague Road, West End

All bodies/identities are welcome

Janita (Whole Hearted Harpist), Ogden (Harp) and Lori (Yoga Teacher) will hold space for deep rest.

We will explore long-held postures, using props to fill the spaces between the curves of our bodies. With a full sense of stable support, our heart-rate slows, the breath deepens, muscles relax, tension releases. Restoration and integration takes place.

Live harp will support our journey. We will focus our attention on sound as a meditative anchor to the present moment. Our sense organs will be nourished and calmed.

This is an invitation of cellular level remembrance on what ease and rest can feel like. We promote the deepest level of relaxation to alleviate the marks that stress has left on the mind-body-heart.

Breathe is medicine. Rest is radical. Sound is healing.

We look forward to sharing this moment with you

With warmth,

Janita and Lori

**** Please know, underlying emotions and physical sensations can give rise during practices of stillness and meditation. While we can practice opening to and nurturing these experiences, it may feel confronting for some who have good reasons for seeking movement when distress arises. Space will be held and the harp will act as another anchoring point if the breath may not yet feel like a safe resting place. Permission is given for you to participate in whatever ways you may need to feel safe.

What to bring:

When the body relaxes, body temperature can drop. Blankets are provided but do bring a pair of socks to keep your feet toasty! All props will be provided.
