Befriending Stillness: Radically Restorative Yoga

  • JP Centre Yoga 670 Centre Street Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130 United States (map)

One Saturday per month from 6:30-8pm at JP Centre Yoga!

Befriend stillness and relieve deep-set tension with yoga therapist Alex Bauermeister and her team of magical assistants. Alex guides a meditative sequence of floor-based, gentle poses, while a team of assistants offer optional hands-on support and bodywork. Together, we will cultivate space for metabolizing physical, mental, and emotional stress, to emerge refueled, rebalanced, and reinspired. This is a practice of self-care to bring forward our most grounded and wise selves, in service of our own wellbeing, and the wellbeing of our relationships and communities. 

ABOUT ALEX’S TEACHING STYLE | This class is appropriate for many levels of experience, including beginners and those who struggle to access stillness and relaxation in a fast-moving and guarded world. Restorative yoga uses gentle, floor-based, prop-supported poses with long holds (5-12 minutes per posture). Alex provides options and variations in her teaching so that you can personalize your practice to the needs, realities, and preferences of your body and nervous system. 

HYBRID EVENT | This hybrid workshop will be both in-person and via live-stream. The recording will be available for 48hrs for participants who register for livestream but don’t sign in. For those joining via Zoom, please note that Alex will periodically leave the video frame to attend to students in the room. For those joining in-person at the studio, Alex will play music to accompany the practice.
