Blossom DURHAM REGION Classes
Gentle Yoga
Gentle Yoga is for people new to yoga, people experiencing joint sensitivity, or for those looking to reduce stress in a safe and comfortable atmosphere. Gentle Yoga emphasizes stretching, proper alignment and breath awareness. It helps to improve balance and increase flexibility. The Gentle Yoga class ends with restorative postures or Yoga Nidra.
Restorative Yoga
In a world where people never seem to get enough sleep and watching television is their idea of resting, Restorative Yoga is a way to regulate the nervous system by slowing it down, naturally relaxing the body. Everyone would benefit from an opportunity to let their bodies relax and recharge in a Restorative Yoga class, but it is also extremely benefical for those suffering from stress, anxiety, insomnia and those that have completed cancer treatments.
Yoga Therapy
If you are interested in participating in a case study where you will receive a free session of yoga therapy, please email lisa@blossomyogapilates.com and specify what your goal or intention for yoga therapy is. Your request will be considered to see if it meets case study requirements.
