Are you ready to let go, feel supported, and reap the rewards of deep listening and relaxation, allowing for true healing and health? In her profound new 101 class, Jillian Pransky offers restorative yoga like you’ve never experienced it before. Join this four-week program for a deep dive into eight essential poses you need to elicit a relaxation response. Each week, Jillian weaves the fundamental themes of a restorative practice—grounding, making space, listening, and rejuvenation—into the coursework so you can begin naturally integrating these principles on the mat. You’ll focus on simple prop setups to help encourage deep mind-body release and healing. Whether you are an avid practitioner, are new to restorative, or want to teach it effectively, this course will give you the tools to build a nourishing restorative practice.

The tools any student or teacher will take from this class include:

• 4 guided meditation and breathing practices
• 4 guided complete practice sessions (35-minutes each): set-up, pose how-tos, breath awareness, meditations, mindful transitions, and a centering closing
• 8 in-depth pose how-to videos: instruction on alignment, benefits, detailed use of props, and variations
• Simple yet informative lectures on the mind-body science behind the poses and practices, with a focus on stress and relaxation responses
