Restorative Yoga & Reiki with Angelique Raptakis
Breathe and release into the support of bolsters, blankets, and other props that are intentionally positioned to support the body into a state of relaxation, releasing tension and stress. Angelique will guide you through restorative poses while using therapeutic Reiki to help deepen your experience.
This combined healing practice of Restorative Yoga and Reiki promotes the nervous system to enter a state of balanced relaxation, encouraging both the body and mind to quiet, and allows for healing on a physical and emotional level. Guided visualizations, mindfulness, and sound healing will also be used to enhance the practice.
Angelique Raptakis is a Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Reiki Master, and Community Herbalist who looks to nature for inspiration, weaving its lessons into her classes. She believes that through the practice of yoga, we can more easily come to the connection between our body, our breath, our mind, and the universe we find ourselves in.
