Flow & Restore Yoga
with Mel Grime
HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST, YOGA TEACHER & MINDFULNESS COACH
Thursday Evenings 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Yoga-Riffic, 713289 1st Line EHS, Mono, ON
Join me for a slow, unhurried Hatha Yoga and restorative class that will leave you feeling nourished and centred.
​
We will start by moving through a mindful, slow flow where you will learn how to utilize your breath within postures.
​
You will then be led into some calming restorative yoga poses to take you from the busy mind and reconnect with your body, heart and soul.
Restorative poses are passive and low to the ground and we will use props such as blankets, bolsters and blocks to support you. The intention behind this type of yoga is to get the body as comfortable as possible to create space for the mind to soften.
​
All levels of yoga are welcome. Suitable for beginners.​

What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga is a deep & restful practice that is all about slowing down. It allows you to enjoy the benefits of postures without the muscular effort.
If you take a restorative class, you may hardly move at all, doing just a few postures over the course of an hour. The combination of time and breath in a pose, allows the body to switch on its innate healing processes.
​
Each pose is supported using props such as blankets, bolsters and blocks to allow your body to become as comfortable as possible to create space for the mind to soften.
​
Suitable for all levels.
What is Hatha Slow Flow?
In Sanskrit, “Ha” represents sun and “tha” represents moon. This alludes to the opposites in our lives, such as yin and yang, light and darkness, hard and soft, vigorous and gentle.
​
A yoga class described as ‘Hatha’ will typically involve a set of physical postures (yoga poses) and breathing techniques, practised more slowly and with more static posture holds than perhaps a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class.
Hatha yoga is about finding balance. Through working with the physical body, releasing tension and trauma stored in the body, you create space in yourself and, through that space and balance, the opportunity for spiritual growth.
​
Suitable for all levels.
