Secrets to a Satisfying Shavasana

at Roots & River Yoga in Brunswick, MD

It can be easy to dismiss shavasana as that easy pose at the end of class where you just lie down on the floor. You can even be tempted to skip it altogether. However, shavasana is the most essential pose for teaching you how to access the feelings of ease you find on the mat in your busy and often stressful life off the mat.

The fullest expression of shavasana requires relaxing your body and quieting your mind in a very complete and profound way.

Learn the theory of Restorative Yoga, stories from the tradition about shavasana, and some practical ways to support your body.

If you love shavasana, you'll love it even more after this. If you loathe shavasana, this class might change your mind!

Open to everyone and no previous yoga experience is needed.

Eligible for 3 CEUs with Yoga Alliance.
