Join Alex Bauermeister In-Person or via Livestream for a special Flow and Restore practice in support of Neighborhood Birth Center.
In this nourishing class mindful slow flow meets restorative yoga. The first half explores meditative movement through postures to help unravel embodied stress and tension. The second half of class winds down with postures that facilitate rest and stillness.
As with any class, students are encouraged to adapt the pacing and postures to their own practice in pursuit of cultivating ease and relaxation, whether that means interpreting the teacher’s guidance with more vigor or more gentleness.
After the practice, Neighborhood Birth Center will hold a 30-minute Q&A session with board members and staff to share more about the project.
