Studies have found that 20 minutes in a restorative yoga pose can be as restful as 2 hours of sleep so, what are you waiting for…?!
Here is what some participants have to say about these workshops:
Verónica
Restorative Yoga Rocks!!! I had been to regular yoga classes, but never attended a restorative yoga class. I feel like this class was worth it’s weight in gold. I left class feeling completely refreshed and ready to tackle my week. I really liked that Alicia made accommodations for those of us who have injuries or difficulty with certain positions. I signed up for the next two classes as soon as I was done!! Well worth it if you are looking for an alternative stress reducing type of yoga class.
Heather
Alicia’s restorative class is a must. I walk into the class with stress from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, but by the second pose, relaxation seeps into every nook and cranny. I re-enter the hectic world but retain my relaxed state of being for days.
Ermalinda
I was never interested in yoga until I met Alicia. Her restorative yoga classes have shown me that I can take control of my body and my reactions to my environment. Her love of yoga and extensive knowledge of the subject are evident in her classes. She allows her students to lead themselves, always guiding yet never dictating the movements. Alicia’s restorative yoga workshops are for all who need to de-stress and bring balance back into their lives.
Gail
I just wanted to thank you for your commitment to providing such a quality service. Your expertise, creativity, and passion for what you do is apparent in each session. I am constantly seeking opportunities to participate in activities that nourish my body, mind, and spirit and promote well-being, and your Restorative Yoga Workshop series has often been a welcome respite during busy and stress-filled times.
Ruth
Both my orthopedist and physical therapist suggested that I take restorative yoga to complement the treatment they were providing for my shoulders, knees, upper and lower back. I was initially concerned about my ability to sustain yoga poses for 15 minutes in Alicia’s 2-hour class, but after the first class, I knew I was in the “right place” as Alicia’s personal attention ensures that everyone gets a good stretch without experiencing any discomfort. The best way to describe Alicia’s class is to compare it to a spa getaway: relaxing, refreshing, revitalizing and fun, too!

Your eyes are closed. You are lying on a mat on the floor. Your head is on a folded blanket. Your back is supported by a pillow or a bolster. Your knees are propped up by blocks. More blankets cover your body…Your breathing is slowed as soft music plays and you float away… THAT’S WHAT RESTORATIVE YOGA IS LIKE WITH ALICIA!!!!!!
