Trying something new can be a little scary sometimes. I decided to try Restorative Yoga for the first time through a class offered by Joan at Jacob’s Well Church in Evergreen Park. In her usual style, Joan created an environment of peace and joy. She exudes a calm presence, thoroughly explains and demonstrates the poses, and just when we all need it, she sprinkles in her delightful humor. I found Restorative Yoga to be exactly as the name suggests… restorative. For me, it was comforting, nurturing and relaxing. I liked using the different props that Joan supplied, and holding the poses for a more extended time. I definitely intend to do more of this.
