Bee Well Yoga’s 100 hour Restorative Yoga immersion is an experiential study of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing processes of restorative yoga. Restorative Yoga is a slow, deliberate practice of mindful resting to heal injuries, illnesses and/or traumas. The practice uses supported postures, breath work, meditation and long holds to draw the mind inward, release unwanted energy in the body and instill a deep sense of relaxation. This slow, meditative and often intense practice nurtures self-discovery and facilitates a wholeness of mind, body and spirit.

Anatomy of the nervous system and subtle body
