Candlelight Release

A Candlelight Yin Yoga Practice for Physical & Emotional Recovery, a therapeutic practice designed to support recovery, emotional balance, and nervous system regulation. Through long-held postures, gentle breathwork, and mindfulness techniques, it aids joint and muscle recovery, reduces stress, and encourages emotional release. Set in a calming candlelight atmosphere, Release offers a peaceful space for healing and reconnection, whether you're recovering from intense activity or simply seeking restoration

Description

More than just deep stretching, Release is a therapeutic Yin yoga practice designed to support physical recovery, emotional balance, and nervous system regulation. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and modern somatic research, this practice works by holding postures for extended periods (3-5 minutes), rehydrating connective tissues, increasing circulation, and creating space for emotional processing. Whether you're an athlete recovering from intense training, navigating stress, or simply seeking restorative practice, Release offers a space to soften, heal, and reconnect with yourself.

What to Expect:

🔹 A slow, meditative practice with long-held, supported postures
🔹 Gentle breathwork to soothe the nervous system and enhance recovery
🔹 Somatic and mindfulness techniques to support physical and emotional restoration
🔹 A quiet, introspective atmosphere for deep relaxation and healing

Benefits:

✔ Supports Joint, Fascia, and Muscle Recovery – Enhances flexibility, mobility, and rehydration of connective tissues, aiding post-exercise recovery.
✔ Regulates the Nervous System – Activates the parasympathetic response (rest-and-digest mode), reducing stress, anxiety, and burnout.
✔ Encourages Emotional Release – Provides space for processing stored emotions, supporting trauma recovery and grief work.
✔ Improves Circulation and Sleep – Increases blood flow, promotes relaxation, and enhances restorative sleep.
✔ Deepens Mind-Body Awareness – Cultivates mindfulness, presence, and self-connection for holistic well-being.

Let Release at Repose be your sanctuary—a practice that meets you where you are, offering space to recover, restore, and return to yourself.
