Props Required:

• 5 blankets (preferably Mexican blankets) it’s easiest if they are all the same size / you can also bring your favorite soft & cushy blanket as one of your 5. Yoga Outlet has a good selection, and, of course, Amazon has everything. I purchased my favorite blankets (Mexican/Native Thunderbird) at Yogaworks.
• 1 full sized bolster 25” long, firm, about 6” high is good — a rectangular or round will do.
• 2 4” foam block — I prefer Manduka recycled blocks. I think the cork blocks are too heavy. Hugger Mugger work, too.
• Yoga Mat
• 6 - 8’ yoga strap/belt. I prefer the 8' 1.75" Manduka strap — it is wider and longer than other straps, which serves all bodies better.
• 1 hand towel/face towel

Recommended:

• Socks & layers — you get cold during Restorative Yoga pretty easily • Eye pillow (not too heavy) or scarf for eye covering

Required Books:

• Relax & Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times by Judith Hansen Lasater
• Restore & Rebalance: Yoga for Deep Relaxation by Judith Hansen Lasater

Recommended Books:

• Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma by Gail Parker, PhD.

Tamika Caston-Miller, RYT500, E-RYT, YACEP, and Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra® guide, began her yoga journey in 2001. She fell in love with Yin and Restorative Yoga styles when she was experiencing chronic pain as Yin invited her to develop resiliency and Restorative allowed her to rest and receive each pose. She is known for guiding a skillful combination of meditation, storytelling, and intuitive asana curated with thoughtful sequencing and music in an effort to help one turn inward and restore. A proponent of radical compassion for oneself through authentic asana and meditation practices, she is excited to share these styles with others as they realize their physical, mental, and emotional goals. Tamika’s journey has been informed by chronic pain and injuries, the quest to normalize yoga for all bodies, the very human battle between shame and compassion, and love for the practice and philosophy of yoga.

About Hala:
Hala Khouri, M.A., SEP, E-RYT, has been teaching the movement arts for over 25yrs. Her roots are in Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga, dance, Somatic Psychology, and the juicy mystery of Life itself. Creative movement and honest self-exploration have always been sources of tremendous healing. Her calling to share this with others has been clear to her since she began teaching at the age of 16.

Hala holds a B.A. in Psychology (minor in religion) from Columbia University & a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her thesis was on using yoga and other complementary disciplines, like eco-psychology & somatics, for self-empowerment to inspire a global shift towards peaceful, sustainable living. She is also trained in Somatic Experiencing, a technique focusing on trauma’s impact on the body-mind & ways to resolve it. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Community Pscyhology, Liberation Psychology, & Ecopsychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
