Restorative Iyengar Yoga with Tara
Step into a calm, spacious sanctuary where time slows and your body finds gentle support. In this 2-hour session, we merge the therapeutic precision of the B.K.S. Iyengar-rooted method with deeply restorative practice—using bolsters, blankets, blocks and belts to invite your nervous system into ease and your body into alignment. You’ll rest supported, breathe fully, and open into stillness in our Hemple space equipped with a 16-unit Energy Enhancement System.
Why this practice matters
In a world that demands constant movement and output, this class gives you permission to be rather than do. Drawing on the principles of Alignment + Support intrinsic to the Iyengar lineage, we hold poses for extended periods in deeply supported form, allowing your parasympathetic nervous system to engage, tension to dissolve, and clarity to emerge. Studies show restorative methods rooted in Iyengar’s prop-rich approach help reduce stress, improve sleep and support recovery from fatigue and injury.
Meet Tara
As an Iyengar-certified teacher, I (Tara) bring both respect for tradition and an open invitation to rest. With the aid of the 16-unit Energy Enhancement System in our Hemple, we’ll anchor the field, let your body soften, and your breath deepen—so you can emerge renewed, balanced and grounded. Join me Wednesdays 10 am-12 pm for a precious time of restoration.
Please arrive 10-15mins before session begins as we commence promptly at 10am.
What to Bring / What to Expect
Bring yourself as you are — no striving, no proving. Comfort is key.

A yoga mat (extras available if needed)
Comfortable layers and socks
A small blanket or shawl for warmth
An open heart and willingness to rest
All other props — bolsters, belts, blocks, and supports — are provided in the Hemple.
You’ll be guided through a sequence of deeply supported postures, gentle breathwork, and quiet integration within the 16-unit Energy Enhancement field. Expect extended holds, soft lighting and the invitation to simply let go.
Fees & Post-Session Care
The energy exchange for this two-hour Restorative Yoga session is $50 per person.
Following your time within the 16-unit Energy Enhancement System, it’s part of the wellness protocol to enjoy a 30-minute detox soak — either a full bath or a soothing foot bath — to help your body gently release and integrate the energetic effects of your session.
We offer beautifully blended detox bath salts for $15 per bag, available for purchase before or after class. They’re a simple way to extend your restorative experience at home and support your ongoing balance and clarity.
