Resting Conversation is a restorative yoga practice that focuses on rest and deep relaxation as an antidote for our "always-on" and stress-filled lives.
Resting Conversation is about "being" more and "doing" less. It is born out of an integration of knowledge arising from various fields that focus on calming the nervous system, such as the psychological science and neuroscience of relaxation, restorative yoga, mindfulness practices, and breathwork, to elicit the relaxation response. The practice builds awareness of where we hold tension and creates fuller and deeper breaths to soften the tension. With repeated practice, the intention is for the mind and body to become better and better at finding this deep relaxation state so that we can come back to it whenever we want or need to.
“Welcome your breath with your hands.
Welcome your breath into your body.
Welcome your mind onto your breath, into your body.
Welcome yourself here, now, as you are.”
