Every year Ruby looks forward to this day after Thanksgiving Restorative Workshop. Even though it's a bummer we won't be able to practice together in the studio this year, it's still going to be a lovely opportunity to treat your body and soul with 2 hours of relaxation and renewal and to really allow your parasympathetic nervous system to reset and come back into balance.
Can't make the class live? No worries, if you register, you'll be sent the recording!
Don't have many yoga props? Either contact Ruby about borrowing some or use these substitutions below!
- eye cover (alternatives: hand towel, bandanna, scarf, etc)
- bolster, such as this (alt: 2-3 bath towels rolled up tightly, 1-2 bed pillows, couch cushion, bed pillow wrapped with a bath towel, etc)
- 3 or 4 blankets or bath towels, including one large enough to cover your whole body
- yoga block (alt: stack of books, bound together if that prevents slipping, a sturdy shoe box)
- thin pillow for your head (alt: a blanket or towel)
- a chair (or just move to your couch or a wall during this part.)
- optional, if such things enhance your sensory relaxation experience:
- 1-2 sandbags (for placement, perhaps, on low belly or shoulders) – DIY: these can simply be unopened bags of sugar/rice/beans, etc
- essential oils/diffuser
- cozy socks!
- You'll have the choice to turn your video to either ON or OFF. (Everyone's audio will be muted once class starts.)
- Be sure your device is fully charged (or just keep it plugged in)!
Ruby will either have her audio system in place to play a variety of sound healing instruments like crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, and more, or if she's not able to have good sound quality, she'll be playing soothing music through the computer to allow you to go deeper into your relaxation.
