RESTORATIVE Workshops: Deep Relaxation with Elements of Regenerative Yoga
The workshops are dedicated to learning deep, effective relaxation and conscious rest. They focus on releasing bodily tension and efficiently restoring both body and mind.
The aim of the session is to discover several stress- and tension-relief techniques that, when applied skillfully, can support you in everyday life. We will practice conscious work with the body and breath to achieve the most challenging goal: productive rest.
During the workshops, participants will experience:
- relaxation and regeneration exercises (gentle body movement),
- restorative yoga,
- body scan (directing focus to specific parts of the body),
- breathing techniques (improving the quality of breath),
- self-massage and acupressure (gentle massaging and pressing of specific points on the body).
A core part of the workshop is restorative yoga. This is a very peaceful, regenerative form of yoga aimed at deeply relaxing the body and the nervous system—with zero effort, zero stretching, and no active exercise. It is a practice where the body is fully supported (e.g., with blankets, bolsters, blocks), allowing the muscles to completely let go. Staying in a few simple poses for an extended period (even 10–20 minutes) enables the body to enter a state of deep rest.
Please note! The workshops are designed for individuals involved in dance professionally, semi-professionally, or those who practice dance as a passion, but do so regularly and intensively.
