Restorative Yoga with Reiki Healing with Rita Trieger and Fernanda Guerra
Saturday, January 11th, 1:30 – 3:30pm
Restorative Yoga is ‘passive’ Yoga where the body is fully supported with blankets, bolsters and blocks in Yoga postures to enhance the flow of prana through specific pathways in the body for nourishment and restoration.
Reiki is the healing art of encouraging the flow of ones own energy (universal life force) through the body. Reiki promotes healing on all levels and leaves one feeling relaxed, soothed and with a general sense of well being.
