Celebrating 50 Years of Yoga |
Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come. -- Rumi
This year, we would like to say more, with less.
In Gratitude. Wishing you a year of well being. Om Shanti.

Restorative Yoga addresses the underlying systems and rhythms of the body nurturing greater well being. This skillful way of practice helps us return to a deeper state of relaxation.
Restorative Yoga specializes in balancing stress and tension with deep relaxation. Using props, breathwork, passive engagement of muscle groups, and attuning to energy flow, the body is supported while gently opening into the poses.
Learn to take care of yourself and your students with this enriching system. Restorative Yoga is an invaluable aspect to the wholeness of any Yoga practice.
We invite you to join White Lotus and Phoebe Diftler for week of nurturing, radiant well being. This program is open to yoga students, teachers, and anyone wanting to immerse themselves in a week of Restorative Yoga.
