Neuroscience describes restorative yoga as a rich and restful practice to restore and balance our overstimulated nervous system.
Ayurvedic medicine encourages active rest for healing chronic illness by decreasing the element of air and movement (vata) in the body mind system.
Modern research is suggesting that anxiety, depression and chronic pain can be seen as disorders of disembodiment, not just genetic or biochemical imbalances and yoga can be a tool for building emotional resilience.
​
Yet we are drawn into the old belief that strong sensation equals greater change or the narrative of 'I will do something active, then if I have time I will rest'.

This course is crucial for anyone in today’s lifestyle with everything moving so fast. Kendra is
unbelievable the depth of her knowledge and how to change it up according to your particular challenges. I wish I had access to this 20 years ago!! Learning how to slow the brain
down, destress and heal the body for 15 minutes every day is the equivalent to another hour sleep at night for me. I can also tap into the peacefulness I experience when doing “zen” when I’m at my craziest at work. The breathing exercises together with the related postures make so much sense.

I really struggle with being kind to myself. This course challenged me to be okay with dropping into a state of less doing and more just being. Even just practicing one of the postures at the end of the day is okay.

I've also had several times over the last few weeks where my lower back has tensed up during or following a stressful event.
I have replaced my usual... oh no this is bad and will take forever to get better with... I am safe.
I am safe is currently my mantra.
