Gentle/Restore Yoga


This class is taught by:

Debbie Arnell

After High School, Debbie was offered scholarships to dance at the University of Utah. A year later she transferred to Brigham Young University where she earned a BS. She performed with many different dance companies. Later, while raising her family and still loving to move she taught Aerobics and Spinning classes. Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue in 2000, Debbie underwent a major change, unable to continue her traditional way of moving. She started down the path of healing herself! What she found has changed her For the Better! Over the past 20 years, She's helped many people, including herself find new avenues of living a life filled with activity, health, passion and hope. She discovered for herself that when we continuously look for our flaws, eventually, the body begins to break down. What we create within manifests what is happening without. Yoga became a lifeline. True nutrition that comes from the Earth became a staple habit. Thoughts have become dream building! A few years she passionately studied the art of Teaching Yoga! It opened her mind to new possibilities in the way she processed information! What has followed has left her grinning with an excitement that bubbles up from deep within! She's a wife and mother to 5 adult children. She has 17 grandchildren. She loves moving in almost anyway! (running to run is the exception!). The outdoor calls to her often. She can be found in lakes, on mountain trails, tandem biking with her hubby and in her yard.
This 75 min. class is designed to calm and reset your nervous system. A gentle pace will be maintained as the class moves through standing postures, floor stretches, balance postures and slow vinyasa style movements. There will be quiet music in the background and frequent reminders to stay connected to the breath. The last 20 minutes of class you will be resting in a supported savasana, using blankets, bolsters and an eye pillow. During this time there will be no talking. Your body and mind will move into a deep, restful state. This supported stillness, practiced over time reduces stress, anxiety and lowers the levels of cortisol in your system. All yoga ability levels from beginner to experienced are welcome and can physically, and mentally greatly benefit from this class.
