About this class:

In this Restorative deep dive, we’ll explore how the baroreceptor reflex (a carotid artery sensor that registers blood pressure) can support a downshift in the nervous system; slowing the heart rate and calming the activity of the mind.  The baroreceptor reflex is a physiological phenomenon specific to postures such as  Supported Bridge, Shoulderstand and Legs Up the Wall.  To maximise the potential benefits of these practices we’ll first prepare the body through gentle cervical, upper thoracic and shoulder opening movements.

We’ll also investigate the oculocardiac reflex whereby gentle pressure in and around the eyes slows the heart rate.  This class will be of particular interest to yoga teachers wanting to more fully understand the physiology of inverted Restorative postures and how to maximise benefits through tailor fitting postures to individual structure.

For this session please bring:

~ extra layers of clothing so you stay warm.

~ a pair of thick socks

~  a wash cloth and bath towel

~ a scarf or soft cloth, long enough to wrap around your eyes and head.  Muslin wraps made for babies are perfect for this purpose.  These suppliers have 120X120cm wraps.
