In a time of noise, tension, and uncertainty, this is an invitation to soften.
We return to what restores: breath, body, and presence.

✨ Gentle Yoga for Regulation & Rest ✨
Join Karen LaFrano for a nurturing, body-based yoga practice designed to support nervous system regulation, deep rest, and compassionate listening—especially supportive during the winter season when slowing down is medicine.

This class emphasizes intentional pacing, supported postures, and subtle movement. Shapes are simple and spacious, allowing time for sensation, settling, and integration, prioritizing regulation over performance.

Class Focus Includes:
• Nervous system regulation (grounding, safety, balance)
• Body-based awareness & breath
• Gentle, accessible movement
• Restorative support with bolsters, blankets & blocks
• Self-compassionate practice honoring personal rhythms

Well-suited for those seeking:
• Relief from stress, fatigue, or seasonal depletion
• A slower, more nurturing yoga experience
• Support during healing or transitions
• A practice centered on rest and regulation

You’ll leave feeling more grounded, settled, and resourced, carrying steadiness into the rest of your week.
