About the instructor: Cecelia is a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher. She has worked in the field of the Healing Arts since 1987 while enjoying a career as an interior designer and artist. She is a “Relax and Renew” Trainer, an Intuitive and is certified in the energy healing modalities of Healing Touch, Reiki, The Yogic Breath and Journey to the Self/Way of the Healer.


She describes her clients’ experience to Restorative Yoga to be luxurious and deeply restful. A shift of energy occurs within one’s “Stillpoint” that awakens the body’s innate healer which then creates authentic awareness and brings balance to one’s physical, mental and emotional body.

This 2.5 hour practice is not appropriate for those recovering from Thoracic surgery or have a breathing restriction such as emphysema. Please contact Cecelia at 757-560-2703 for information on a beneficial practice for these conditions or for further information or concerns.
