About This Class

This approachable, slow-paced gentle yoga class is entirely focused on unwinding accumulated tension from the body and mind. Beginning supine with breath check-ins and knee-to-chest warm-ups, the class moves through pelvic rocks, boat pose variations, reclined twists, and thread-the-needle hip openers before introducing strap-assisted hamstring and hip stretches with leg sweeps. The seated portion targets the hips deeply with Sukhasana forward folds, Gomukhasana, and a half-Gomukhasana twist, while an extended Vajrasana sequence systematically releases the shoulders, chest, and upper back through interlaced finger stretches, eagle arms, reverse prayer, and clasp variations. The class closes on the floor with a supported bridge using a block, windshield-wiper knees, and an invitation into Savasana. Breath awareness and mindful relaxation are woven throughout every section, making this an ideal practice for stress relief, tension release, and calming the nervous system.

    This was perfect after a bit too much workout and way too much stress. Was so sore, tired and wound too tight I couldn’t manage a flow class (tried) but this was just perfect. Would love a longer version as every time we transitioned I wanted to stay a bit longer. Thank you – this class hit the spot for me today!

    Thank you, Steve and Melissa, for your wonderfully restorative practice for the pelvis, hips, and shoulders. Steve, I did indeed discover much “stuff”, which after releasing brought a greatly different perspective to and within my body and mind. I am always grateful for your gentle soul. Blessings.
