Restorative Yoga & Tea with Vanessa Bonet
Join Vanessa Bonet, RYT-200 Yoga Instructor and Advanced Reiki Practitioner, for 75 minutes of a soothing, relaxing monthly restorative yoga class.
Every second Saturday of the month, the class will begin with a sample of a warming tea from the Green Heart Awakening store. Then, we’ll spend an hour of pure relaxation in a restorative yoga practice augmented by yoga props like blankets, blocks, and bolsters as well as sandbags. The sandbags are similar to a weighted blanket and encourage the body to produce a relaxation response, releasing accumulated stress, tension and anxiety.

Journey to Joy: A Yoga Nidra Experience with Vanessa Bonet
This class, held on fourth Saturdays, will begin with movements (some may be more vigorous and revitalizing) to release any repressed energy before settling into stillness. During the first 30 minutes of the class, we will be transitioning between yoga poses that focus on legs, hips, and spine. After our movement practice, we will enter into a Yoga Nidra experience that will range between 35 to 45 minutes. Class will end with one or two restorative yoga poses.
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that involves breath awareness and body sensing along with intention setting. The goal of Yoga Nidra is to unearth the blockages (Samskaras) that exist as matter, energy, and thought that may prevent the flow of prana (life force) throughout the body.
Vanessa is an RYT-200 Yoga Instructor and is Yoga Nidra Certified and an Advanced Reiki Practitioner. She will lead you on a journey in which you can deeply connect and release unwanted energies, bringing clarity and compassion to the self.
***Participants should be able to get down to the floor and up unassisted. Although Yoga Nidra is not confined to one specific position, it is generally practiced in a supine pose such as Savasana (lying on your back) with the optional use of props to create an ideal relaxation state. ***
When: 4th Saturday of every month, 11:30 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Cost: $15 drop-in rate (or $25 for two 75-minute classes)
CANCELLATION POLICY: No refunds will be given unless the class is canceled. If you register and are unable to attend, you may gift your spot to a friend.
