Restorative Season: Softer, Suppler, Slower, Supine
With apologies to Daft Punk, a little gentleness goes a long way…
A bonus set of listings this week for ALL subscribers because everyone needs a little TLselfC
Every week we send out recommendations for supporting and enhancing your yoga practice, whether that’s by highlighting a workshop, a training, a yoga-adjacent art happening in Paris or some other interesting event in other parts of France, like Lille for example (see below).
Premium subscribers get access to everything: in addition to our full weekly event rec’s, members can browse the archive, comment on posts, and participate in lively conversations around yoga, life and art. Not yet subscribed? Here, let us help you with that:
We’re in a Restorative Yoga mood… still! It’s not us; it’s Nature. And who are we to deny Nature? Like Nature, Restorative Yoga is a study in deliberation; of taking the time to plan, to set up and to give yourself permission to let go.
If you’re the least bit Type A (🙋) Restorative Yoga can pose some challenges because there is no overachieving. This is why being guided by a sensitive, experienced teacher is essential: he or she will know exactly how to soothe your hyperactive need to excel and get an A. You’re not gonna like this but everyone’s a winner in Restorative Yoga 🥇
Atelier Yoga 360° d’Hiver (Paris)
with Sandra Schultze at Studio Marga
In Sandra’s words: “Winter is here and, at the heart of nature which is slowing down, we are still running.
In these two hours, we’ll slow down and dive inside, by introspection’s fireside, snuggled up in our confidential selves. On the agenda: meditation, kriyas, pranayama, yin and restorative yoga for a deep relaxation that will help us better listen to ourselves and the world.”

WHAT IS DO YOGA IN PARIS?
Do Yoga in Paris is both a community and a space. It started as a website in 2011 and recently relocated to Substack. We love our new home.
The aim of this newsletter is to connect you to your yoga practice whether you’re in Paris temporarily, permanently or only in your mind 🙃 We highlight yoga and meditation events, workshops, trainings, teachers, studios, but that’s not all! Anything that contributes to a rich, creative, fulfilled yoga life is grist for the mill.
Thank you for being here and for reading.
