Tara Drake

Ayurveda can create balance in your life. Anger, jealousy, attachment, lethargy, forgetfulness, anxiety and other negative characteristics are examples of imbalance. These imbalances can transpire into physical ailments for example; weight gain or loss, skin irritations, joint pain, and elimination problems. Tara Drake, our Certified Ayurveda Health Counselor, will help you with diet, yoga and daily routine to create healing and a more stable and healthy lifestyle.

Our session will begin with a guided relaxation to direct awareness inward to calm and relax the nervous system.

You will then blanket yourself with the healing power of sound therapy. This meditative practice will leave you feeling rejuvenated and more balanced! Different frequency of sound opens certain restorative energy points in our bodies to promote healing.

Restore your nervous system. Restorative is a slower paced class oriented towards restoring the body and settling the mind. Blankets, bolsters and other props are used to support the body in poses intended to restore ease and balance. Restorative has been known to lower cortisol levels and tension in the body. Some gentle movements and postures may be included to prepare the body for relaxation and rest.

Join us to relieve yourself from a sticky situation.
KIDDING, NOT KIDDING!
Tara Drake, Yoga Therapist, will guide you in fascia release practices and exercises. Fascia is a web-like sticky substance that drapes over every tissue in our bodies. How well we move can be dependent on the stickiness of our fascia. With these practices, we can gain emotional and physical freedom from the "tight" feeling we may have.

Benefits include:
-Improve flexibility and mobility with fascia release techniques for greater ease in movement.
-Improve lymphatic flow by removing toxins and stagnation in the tissues.
-Reduced body tension & stress
-Emotional release
-Injury prevention
-Decrease muscle soreness
