About Contemplative Yoga®
The difference between Contemplative Practice Yoga® and other yoga styles is that in other styles you have to work in order to rest, but in Contemplative Practice Yoga® you need to rest in order for the yoga to work ~ Lauren Michele
Contemplative Practice Yoga® is a gentle, therapeutically oriented style of yoga. This is not gym yoga. This is an integrative practice that reduces pain, decompresses tensions in your body, and gives you ease of movement.
Rather than “stretching” or “strengthening” muscles in the traditional sense, Contemplative Practice Yoga® specializes in releasing muscle tension.
Release of the tensions in the core of your body creates a corresponding calm in your mind – you naturally enter into a state of greater mental ease and tranquility – hence the name Contemplative Practice Yoga®. In each class or therapy session you experience ways to take that release and ease with you in all that you do -- both in physical and mental activity.
