Blissful Heart Effortless Full Body Restorative Yoga is a 60 minute, deeply rejuvenating and heart-centered practice. You will experience a unique blend of restorative yoga poses and inspiring poetry for your heart chakra, your heart organ system, your heart meridian, and fire element in summer that is deeply soothing and nourishing during the most yang time of year.

As you effortlessly rest into your restorative yoga postures, I will read you contemporary, spirit-infused poetry designed to touch your heart and encourage introspection and self reflection. May these inspiring words from contemporary heart-felt spiritual poets resonate with you and awaken a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

To calm your heart, we will engage breath practices or pranayama as a gateway to calm your heart, body and mind. Through various breath practices from gentle cleansing breath practices, to more soothing breath practices we will invite in a sense of surrender and release tension from our bodies. You will explore the purifying power of Ha breath, the balancing power of square breath and the calming and soothing qualities of alternate nostril breathing.

This restorative yoga sequence and class is designed to invite in surrender and deep rest. This profoundly relaxing and heart-centered restorative yoga class combined with the power of poetry, pranayama and restorative yoga poses guides you on a journey of inner-peace. May this class rejuvenate your body, nurture your heart and unite you with your bliss body.
