Learn to Teach Anjali Restorative Yoga with Founder, Shannon Paige and special guests!
Begins June 2012
Anjali Restorative Yoga, a well respected style of nourishing, gentle yoga was founded and developed by Shannon Paige. Anjali Restorative Yoga is a rich practice of deep and meditative support, both physically and emotionally. The practitioner is held by bolsters, pillows and blankets for sustained periods of time in deeply rejuvenative postures. The hallmark of an Anjali Restorative Yoga practice is that the restorative spaces are held with incredible detail to ease, rich imagery, guided meditations, and restoring pranayama/breathing practices.
Most noted for the “Supported Spinal Sequence,” Anjali’s signature progression, the instructor gently guides the practitioner through a loving sequence to gently bend the spine in its key directions of movement: forward bend, backbend, side-bend and twist, in addition to a mindful, supported traction to inspire length and space between vertebrae.
Anjali’s evolutionary second sequence, “Rich Roots Rising Sequence” offers support to gentle spaces of radical relaxation between therapeutic hip and lower back specific restorative postures. Based in the Chakra / Subtle Body System, the instructor will map a theme specific to ease archetypes of dis-ease in the physical body.
Personalized Anjali Restorative Yoga sessions allow one to explore spaces of hyper contraction physically and / or emotionally. The qualified and deeply skilled instructor will guide the practitioner through an Anjali “Therapeutic Specific Sequence” to aim one at progressive ease, rejuvenation, and relaxation. The sessions can be done as one-on-one sessions or may be offered as public, targeted therapeutic restorative sessions.
The effects of Anjali Restorative Yoga are profound states of calm, focus, ease, and restored verve.
