Releasing Stress Through Restorative Yoga
with Andrea
Kwiatkowski
BWY SE Region
General Day
16 June 2013
Detling Village Hall

Organiser: Jan Palmer
Enjoy a series of deeply restorative yoga postures inspired by
BKS Iyengar. We will support the body with props to alternate
between stimulating and relaxing the body to move it towards
balance. These poses are poses of being rather than doing and
are mostly lying down.
Our daily lives put undue pressure on us, which in turn can
cause stress to build up and affect us on a personal level.
Chronic stress can lead to disease and illness in some cases.
Our antidote to stress is relaxation. Rest, not sleep – it is different.
Scientists have researched the effects of relaxation and we have
a relaxation response that lowers our blood pressure, alters our
rate of breathing and we changes our brain patterns. This can
help to reduce stress and restore health.
Andrea Kwiatkowski is a DCT for the British Wheel of Yoga
and a certified Advanced Jivamukti yoga teacher as well as a
teacher of Yin yoga and Restorative yoga.
Please bring a yoga mat, a blanket, eye-bag, a strap, a
bolster, and as many blocks as you can. You can improvise a
bolster eg by tightly rolling 2/3 pillows into a large pillowcase.
