As the month of August draws to a close and the days are becoming shorter, it is clear that the gradual shift toward the cooler, damper, darker days of fall is underway. Life may be getting busier as the kids head back to school and vacations are coming to a close. Depending on your occupation, things might also be ramping up at work after a quiet summer.

This seasonal transition that literally and symbolically represents a return to the inside provides great opportunity to look at the role that restorative practices play or could potentially play in your self-care regimen. Do you often feel depleted and run down from trying to fulfill all of your daily obligations? How much time do you allow yourself to simply rest? When the pace of life becomes unmanageable, it's important to know your resources.

We want you to be aware of several restorative class options available to you here at the studio throughout this fall. These can accompany your regular yoga practice, acting as both a maintenance regimen for the nerves and a much-needed refuge from the stress of daily life.

Beginning this September, let us be your guide for:

Restorative Yoga: 3rd Friday of each month, 6-8pm
iRest: 1st Saturday of the month, 1-3pm
