Art of Relaxation, taught by Genevieve Yellin, is a quiet, guided practice for people living with the residue of chronic stress—tight muscles, wired-and-tired energy, action-ready & bracing posture, racing thoughts, and difficulty truly resting. In the comfort of your own home, we create a sanctuary, a contained environment, where you can gently unwind long-held patterns so they can loosen and release - finally setting down old baggage you no longer need to carry.

​

This is not a space for retelling stories or revisiting difficult events. Instead, we focus on your present-moment experience: how stress shows up right now in your body, breath, and nervous system, AND how to shift those patterns without giving them any more power.

​

Grounded in TIYT® Methodology, Somatic Yoga® (Eleanor Criswell), and Sundara Yoga Therapy’s Sensory Enhanced Restorative approach, the class weaves together:

• neuromuscular repatterning

• fascia-informed positioning and support

• sensory-enhanced restorative sequencing

• deliberate self-regulation exercises

• basic Ayurveda principles that support our seasonal shifts

Classes may also include someadditional elements, such as:

• exploring creative flow

• sound healing

• ancient practices like trataka (candle gazing) and japa mala (Mantra practice with beads)

• brief readings or poems, gratitude practices, and special meditations

• honoring letting go and welcoming ease "ceremony"
   

Together, these practices calm the body and nervous system, AND tend the “spirit” side of being human—cultivating qualities like self-love, loving-kindness for others, hope, quiet joy, and a deeper sense of contentment.
