Restorative yoga & meditation for deep rest

Are you getting enough good, deep rest? Allowing our bodies to enter a state of deep rest for an extended period of time is essential for overall mental, emotional, and physical well-being, but extremely hard to do in today’s culture of go, go, go. Learning how to be in this state of rest where our ever-seeking minds quiet down is crucial, especially during highly anxious times. Our parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the “rest and digest system,” is the part of our brains that turns on when we’re deeply resting – encouraging our heart rate to slow down, our minds to quiet, and our body to truly heal.

Join BU alumna and yoga instructor, Corinne Tramuta (MET’17) for a one-hour restorative yoga class focused on meditation, deep breathing, and relaxing to help calm your mind and bring your body back into a balanced state during this challenging time.
