Restorative

-

at North Winooski Studio (237 North Winooski Avenue Burlington, VT 05401)

Our bodies have an innate ability to relax, given the right circumstances. we practice poses supported by props in order to find greater comfort as we hold them for an extended period of time (5-20min) in order to tip the balance from “fight or flight” mode into relaxation. A regular restorative practice can foster a more balanced nervous system, less fatigue and stress, promote optimal immune function, and improve digestion.

Restorative Yoga is ideal for students seeking to use mindful, slow, and meditative techniques to reduce stress and alleviate its impact on the body.

Everyone is welcome in this class. Some prior mindfulness/meditation experience is helpful.

At Sangha Studio, one of our core values is accessibility and this includes financial accessibility. We want everyone to be able to practice yoga no matter what! Our suggested donation for a drop-in class is $13 and a membership is $80, but always pay what works for you and truly mean that!

  • Specialized programs and affinity spaces for specific populations like the LGBTQIA2S+ community, those in larger bodies, BIPOC folks, and the accessible yoga community
  • Scholarships for longer-term programs such as teacher trainings and retreats
  • Equitable teacher compensation for our drop-in teachers at all of our locations
  • Administrative support and overhead costs to ensure that our doors remain open everyday (both online + in-person)
