Souk Yoga Studio - New York City

Move into advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical. Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.

Restorative practice pacifies and down-regulates the nervous system, inviting the senses to withdraw into deep relaxation and instill mental clarity through breathwork and opening postures. Postures are held for 3-8 minutes thru the support of props, to create a space of tranquility and rejuvenation. Instead of active muscular engagement and stretching, restorative is much more akin to yoga nidra and guided meditation, creating a sanctuary for the body and mind to retreat and recharge. In a culture that prizes productivity, consumption, and excessive speed, restorative yoga offers the rest and wisdom of non-doing that much of modern habits train us to disregard. Rest is a gift, offers us more variety in our movement practices, and acts as an alternative form of practice during stress, strain, or physical injury. Light to intense movement is encouraged, but not required, prior to restorative sessions, and restorative can be practiced in combination with other more vigorous forms of yoga asana. It is recommended to bring an eye mask and/or a few hand towels/cloths to enhance relaxation.
