Restorative yoga poses require no muscular exertion. Supported by blankets, bolsters of all shapes and sizes. Each pose and each breath serves to lead you further up the ladder of expanded awareness.
Each posture provides a floating affect and carefully placed positioning of the bodies enhances receptors within that assist in your experience. How is this different than Yin Yoga? Yin Yoga provides deep stretching activating the sympathetic nervous system, Restorative Yoga, nothing is stretching, therefore activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
Teachers may incorporate guided imagery and journeys, meditation, aromatherapy, gentle grounding touch as well as a few surprises. No yoga or meditation experience is needed.
Offered 1-2 times per month ($49). Normally this fills fast. Please see our live calendar to book or call 585-861-9642. No drop ins – this will fill up

Restorative Yoga techniques are helpful in the treatment of nervous system disorders, such as insomnia, hypertension, anxiety, and general stress. When the body is fully supported with well-placed blankets, bolsters, blankets, sandbags and more, it will naturally relax, releasing deeply held tensions, and clearing the path to clarity.
Yoga Sutra 2.46 tells us our postures should be ease-ful and with comfort to find that deep and natural peace within.
This Level 1 Restorative Yoga Teacher Training may be used to explore in your own field; perhaps offer to your staff at work, or to your friends and loved ones or simply a wonderful tool for yourself and your family. Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to create, guide and practice a customized Restorative Yoga practice for themselves and others.
Not a Yoga Teacher? You can still apply for our “Healing through Stillness” certificate for those that want to offer this program at GBY.
Sandy Hicks has created and designed this program by uniting the works of Judith Lasater, Masala and her own studies. She has taught over 250 restorative sessions.
This is a deeply relaxing experience that you will learn to create and share.

What You WIll Learn:
The impact of touch can be used to soften our edges, to nurture a moment or an invitation to deepen into our vast temple we call the body.
I find in recent years, touch assists are associated with ‘corrective assists”…only. The healing touch has fallen away. Corrective assists should be primarily verbally cued.
In Hatha Yoga (yoga of movement to raise Kundalini) we also use touch to create a better and safer physical alignment with our anatomy, while giving you freedom to enjoy what your body was born to enjoy. But there is more…..
If you need a refresher, missed out on learning heartfelt touch through the hands and body, this program might be for you.
