😌 Become a Savasana Lover 😌

Join our teachers this June and honour the importance of rest as we enter a busy summer season. We will honour at least 5 minutes at the end of each class for Savasana.

“Savasana is a time when our musculoskeletal and nervous systems integrate the practice we just finished; a time when the fight-flight-or-freeze states that typify the majority of our daily lives take a back seat and the rest-and-digest mechanisms in our parasympathetic nervous systems take the driver’s seat; a time when our digestive and immune systems function best; and, a time when our minds become more calm and clear.”
- Modo Yoga International

Learn more and prioritize Savasana this month by signing up for FREE - you will receive special emails with information on Savasana, a Bingo card to stay inspired, and discounts on our upcoming Yoga Nidra Workshops.
