Nicole Durant Yoga

EVERYBODY’S BODY NEEDS YOGA!!
Give yourself the gift of restorative yoga!! Monthly Restorative Thursday June 4 at 7:30pm
Quarterly Rest & Reset Friday June 12 6:30-8:30 pm

Step into the new year guided not by resolution… but by intention, magic, and mindful direction.
Join me for an afternoon designed to nurture your inner landscape.

Let yourself slow down, stretch out, and make space for something new. We’ll begin with a gentle 45-minute yoga practice inspired by the new moon’s transformative energy. Then, settle into a guided meditation to empty the clutter from your mind. From that clear space, you’ll journal to uncover the intentions that will light your way into the year ahead. We’ll finish with a warm discussion and down-to-earth strategies—protecting these intentions from common pitfalls and learning how to make them shine with staying power.

You’re invited to carve out 2- hours for deep self-care + to nourish yourself from the inside out. Rejuvenate your mind, body & spirit with this restorative experience led by Nicole Durant and Courtney Windju.

We will begin the workshop by arriving in conversation and connection, creating dialogue around what it means/how it feels for you to honor deep rest and an opportunity to reset in your body. Nicole will then guide you through a gentle, restorative yoga practice with an extended savasana, while Courtney offers Reiki touch as you lay supported in your yoga postures. Reiki can be offered with both hands on touch and hands off touch (hands floating just above the body). *You will be asked to indicate which you prefer.

Restorative yoga is a gentle and therapeutic practice focusing on relaxation, rejuvenation, and healing. It involves holding passive yoga poses for extended periods, typically 5 to 20 minutes, while fully supported by props such as blankets, bolsters, blocks, and straps. Using props allows the body to comfortably sink into each posture, relieving tension and promoting deep relaxation. The primary goal of restorative yoga is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the “rest and digest” mode, which helps counteract stress’s effects on the body and mind.

Reiki stands for “universal energy” that flows around and through us at all times. Reiki is a very gentle, non-invasive touch (or non-touch) that often brings folks a felt sense of relaxation and transformation. It is an opportunity for you to connect with your energy body (translated as the ‘koshas’ in yogic philosophy). Receiving Reiki can leave one feeling connected to their subtle body, offering both regulation and restoration to the Central Nervous System (CNS). Folks often describe experiencing Reiki as “feeling lighter”, “as if a weight has been lifted” and “feeling a deeper connection to self.”

This experience is 100% beginner friendly.
