Starts Feb. 20th!
Join us every second Thursday from 7:00–8:00 PM for an online restorative experience- designed to renew your body, promote relaxation, bring mental clarity, and improve your quality of sleep.
This class is accessible for all levels, including those with minor injuries or health conditions.
Restoration Thursdays is led by Astika, who is experienced in helping students adapt the practice to meet their individual needs.
You will be guided through a nurturing, compassionate practice that encourages deep healing and self-care from the comfort of your own home.
What to Expect:
Meditation & Gentle Breathwork:
We begin with a grounding meditation and diaphragmatic breathing. Calming the mind and promoting the parasympathetic nervous system. Meditation and gentle guided breathwork is also interwoven throughout the entire experience
Spinal Decompression:
We use miracle balls (or other props you have on hand) to restore the spine, soften the back muscles, and open the front of the body and the ribcage- inviting more space for fuller breaths.
Self-Massage with Massage Balls:
We use self massage techniques to target areas of tension and tightness. We often massage before stretching- to help us settle into the poses a little easier
Gentle Stretching:
We incorporate gentle stretches to improve flexibility, align our posture, release tension and stress, and prevent injury. All of the stretches are accessible to all, with ways to modify- meet your body where it's at
Restorative Poses:
Comfortable supported positions using a yoga bolster (or pillows, blankets, blocks) breathe and relax- restoring the body and mind.
Mindful Movement: Slow, intentional movements to improve mobility and feel more spaciousness in the body.
Positive Affirmations & Mindset Shifting:
Integrate affirmations to nurture a positive mindset and encourage self-compassion.

Astika is a yoga teacher, hypnotherapist, and mother. She started her yoga journey at Centered Within Yoga in 2012. She instantly fell in love with yoga after spending her life as a dancer. Astika connected to her inner healer with yoga. She knew that she wanted to help others connect to their own inner healer too. After receiving her 200 hr teacher training, she continued to train extensively with Erin, to dive deeper into learning about the human body and biomechanics, as well the philosophies of yoga. She likes to tie everything into the classes she guides, while creating a relaxing and peaceful setting and atmosphere. She is so grateful to be part of the Centered Within community and looks forward to building connections!
