Students with physical or sport injuries, fibromyalgia, back problems, and a physically/mentally demanding lifestyle benefit from Restorative Yoga at WholeHealth Chicago. Each class combines gentle, somatic movements with static holds of stretching postures to lubricate joints and stretch connective tissue throughout the body. Breath work, modifications, and props are used to bring students into a deeper state of relaxation. The class is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm and Saturdays at 3:00 pm. Classes are set up in a small group style, and calling ahead to reserve a spot is highly recommended.

He currently interns at the Yoga Circle under the tutelage of the enigmatic and brilliant Gabriel Halpern in the Iyengar tradition.
A word from Rich on what to expect in his class:
"I teach as best I can to the level of the student. We hold poses longer than most average classes. I tend to focus on standing poses in my level 1-2 classes. My level 2-3 class is more oriented to movement and getting into some challenging advanced work. All my classes incorporate some theme whether Spiritual Mental or Physical. I encourage students to do their own deeper work, i.e. emotional energetic. In the end I want you to find out what works best for you, but be open to the suggestions that come your way.”
