Restorative Yoga with Massage - added dates!

We are excited to let you know that we have added more dates for this popular class led by Rebecca Ward.

This extended restorative practice is designed to support nervous system regulation through safety, slowness, and sensation.

Using fully supported restorative postures, gentle breath guidance, and intentional hands-on massage, the body is invited out of habitual holding and into deeper states of rest. Touch is offered as a steady, attuned presence — helping the nervous system orient toward support and ease.

We will close with a period of silent meditation, offering time for integration as the nervous system settles and the effects of the practice continue to unfold.

Dates:
Sun Sept 20th 6-8pm
Sun Oct. 4th 6-8pm
Thu Oct 22nd 6:30-8:30pm
Thu Nov 5th 6:30-8:30pm
Sun, Nov 15th 6 - 8pm

Lead: Rebecca Ward

Investment: $50 + HST
