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.

Join us for a transformative breathwork journey to support your emotional and mental wellbeing. Breathwork allows you to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, consciously. In this liminal space the breath allows you to release stuck and suppressed negative emotions and trauma in the body to make space for healing to occur. Through breathwork you can touch feelings of deep self-love, bliss and unity consciousness. Tears, laughter and unexpected feelings and emotions often surface as we move through layers of conscious and unconscious programming, patterns, stories and behaviors. The breathwork activations help you connect with your intuition (higher self), your creativity (divine purpose) and break free of addictions, traumas and limiting beliefs.

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.

Join us for a beautiful evening of kirtan, which is a call-and-response process where we chant the names of the divine, connecting ourselves to a higher spiritual power.

It doesn’t matter your background or level of experience. All that is required is an open heart and enthusiasm to connect to something beyond the material. All are welcome. Dayal Gauranga has been on a spiritual journey leading kirtans and teaching spiritual wisdom for more than 20 years.

One year later he made his first trip to India and has since traveled back numerous times throughout the subcontinent, as well as to countries and communities around the world to learn, discover and share the richness of spiritual tradition that he has received. After 10 years of monastic life, he transitioned out of the monastery, met his wife Rasika, got married, and currently lives in Brooklyn with their dog Jiva.
