Take Time to Restore & Soften Your Edges

Restorative | By Elena Brower on Jul 24 2012
Allow time for yourself with this highly restorative practice; your mind and body will respond in kind. Using a bolster (or a couple of rolled-up towels) as well as a block (or a large book), this healing sequence will alleviate anxiety, reboot your immune system, help you soften any harshness within your mind, and bring you back to yourself.

    Your gentle guidance of fostering acceptance, letting go of judgement and criticism, is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you. A beautiful and gentle practice.

    Hi Elena, I love the title you chose for this segment. And love the dialogue you brought in about time between thoughts and space between actions. So thoughtful. Namaste ^^

    Thank you, Elena. This is my first Yogaglo class. I am a mom of twin 1 year olds, and this class was so nice for me.

    Gorgeous. I feel calmer and more balanced. I feel like I can fully "see."

    Also amazed that I used my husband's xbox 360 box with stuff inside as a prop - worked very well. Anything can facilitate restoration.

    Thank you for your sweet, soft wisdom. My 2 year old came in to check on her mama during practice and said: " you listening to elena'" .... You are almost a part of our household ! (And everyone here is grateful because they know I come down softer and lighter!)

    I appreciate your nurturing words. The weight on the belly is a new concept for me and I really love the way it defines the breath and works into the visceral tissue. I'm going to borrow it for my restorative class on Sunday! Thank you so much Elena.
