Restorative yoga is beneficial for promoting healing in a range of ailments and injuries. Some restorative sequences though, can be geared toward specific conditions. In this series, each session will have a particular focus. Note that in this series you won’t have to suffer from the specified injury in order to benefit from the sequence of poses. At the beginning of class, Simone will lead you through series of stretches to begin to relax your nervous system. You will then learn how to rest in postures, supported by blankets, bolsters and blocks, so that your body can engage in “the relaxation response.” The relaxation response is a physiological response that has been shown to promote healing as well as reset the nervous system from a fight-or-flight to a rest-and-digest mode. At the end of class, Simone will use guided relaxation or music to help you relax fully.

Simone, certified yoga therapist, spends her spare moments engulfed in books and journal articles that explain the “science” behind yoga, or rather how the Western medicine world believes yoga can heal the body. She holds a great respect for yoga and its transformative effects on people with all types of health conditions. She is continuing her studies in Loyola Marymount University’s unique yoga therapist training program, and welcomes the opportunity to help people manage unpredictable wellness. Simone also offers private yoga therapy sessions.

Cost: $50 per month if enrolled one week in advance;



$55 thereafter.

Knowing the Ropes
with Gary Vercelli & Yvonne Shanks



April 14, 2013
2:30-5:30pm

In this three hour workshop you’ll learn how working with ropes enhances arm stretches, standing poses, forward extension, seated postures, backbends, and inversions.

Wall ropes are used to make students more aware of their alignment, and to help open areas of the body that might be difficult for them to reach without the use of the ropes. You can also use them in special therapeutic situations, where students need extra support for reasons such as disabilities, injuries, medical issues, etc. Ropes can also be used to stretch and strengthen very specific areas of the body. In standing poses, rope work takes the load off of the lumbar area.

You’ll be provided with a five page syllabus which will enable you to work safely as you explore the use of wall ropes in the practice of asana.

This class is suited to anyone with one year of yoga experience and will be limited to 20 students.


Cost: $45 if paid by April 6 / $55 thereafter
