“Restore Thy Soul”

  • EBTC 251 Lafayette Circle, Suite 330 Lafayette, CA, 94549 United States (map)

A night of restorative yoga (and wine) for therapists and healing professionals.

RSVP: EastBayTherapistCommunity@gmail.com

Treat yourself to an evening of decompression,
de-stressing, refreshing, and relaxation.

Down regulate your over-taxed, burned out nervous system with a gentle, guided sequence of easy restorative yoga poses.

A student of restorative yoga pioneer Judith Lasater, trauma specialist and yogi Malachi Gillihan will not only treat you to a self-care evening of restoring your nervous system, but will also teach poses you can do at the office, at home, while traveling, as well as teaching to your clients for their own journey of healing.

After the poses, relax with a glass of wine while learning some of the science behind restorative yoga, and how it supports the therapeutic and healing journey.

This is a night you won’t want to miss.
Your mind-body (and clients) will thank you for taking some time for you… so treat yo’self!

Light snacks, wine and tea will be provided.
