What’s Empathic Yoga really like?
Ever wonder what an Empathic Yoga session with me is like? I could describe it for you, but my client, Becca D., described it so beautifully, I thought I’d share that with you!
“I’ve been practicing yoga for decades now, and honestly, I’ve tended to shy away from the “gentle yoga” type, historically preferring a more heart-pumping, sweat-inducing “power” or “flow” yoga style - the kind that felt less like meditation and more like a workout.
So, when I started hearing about “restorative” yoga, I assumed it was similar, if not synonymous with “gentle” yoga. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
And, with Ranya as my guide, I have become a lifelong convert! With her soothing, competent direction, supported by a calming, comforting touch, I was able to shed all my preconceived notions of what the experience might be, and instead slide effortlessly into an immensely relaxed state I previously thought impossible!
What Ranya demonstrated, with her expert guidance and knowledge, is that her approach to Restorative yoga has a powerful, lasting ability to both heal and inspire, paving the way for a more holistic self-care practice.
It doesn’t replace my regular yoga practice but instead informs BOTH my mind and body with a deep, subconscious sense of compassion and care, elevating both my refusal practice and my daily life to a higher quality.” - Becca D.
