Treat yourself to a deeply relaxing, passive practice in the comfort and safety of your own home. In restorative yoga the body is fully and comfortably supported with props. Each pose is typically held for ten to twenty minutes so that accumulated stress and tension is gently released. Guided relaxation and breath awareness assist release, so the nervous system and vital organs are deeply nourished and return to equilibrium, facilitating the body's relaxation and self-healing processes.

Suggested props: 3 or more thick blankets and or large towels; a yoga bolster or some firm pillows or cushions, such as a couch cushion; a chair (folding metal or dining room). Having a clear wall available is a plus; if not, options will be offered.

 

Zoreh Afsarzadeh, founder and director of High Desert Yoga, has been teaching yoga since 1985. Zoreh’s upbringing in Iran started her on the path of Sufism, meditation, and spirituality, and during her lifetime, she has studied numerous methodologies including Iyengar, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Siddha yoga, and that of the American Yoga College. Zoreh’s joyous personality and sense of humor endear her to her students with a teaching style that is both nurturing and fun, and her teaching combines a delicate knowledge of the body that allows a compassionate authentic expression of the postures to emerge.
