Soften the hold of accumulated tension in the body, mind, and heart through the deeply rejuvenating practice of Supreme Release Yoga (SRY).
SRY is a deep practice of releasing long-held tension patterns in the spine and pelvis through embracing support and utilizing particular angles of the body. This allows the body to be more available to surrender, inducing the nervous system’s relaxation response and settling the mind.
This accessible and gentle yet profoundly deep practice is especially beneficial for:
-
Individuals managing back or hip pain
- Those with joint hypermobility or laxity through restoring stability of the joints
-
People with full, busy lives or an overall sense of depletion, anxiety, or overwhelm
-
Those navigating fertility challenges, who are in the postpartum period, or managing other pelvic health concerns
SRY was a vital support for Nicole through her own fertility challenges and continues to be her primary yoga asana practice to support a lifelong spine condition.
How it works
-
Supported yoga postures utilize props and sometimes your hands/arms to position the body at intentional angles to encourage inner alignment and deep muscular release.
-
Focus on pelvis and spine fosters spaciousness, steadiness, and a sense of being anchored within.
-
While sequencing varies, classes typically follow a bottom-up approach: tailbone → sacrum → pelvis → psoas → ribcage.
-
Pranayama + guided awareness support deep rest and integration.
What you’ll need
-
Yoga mat or cushioned surface
-
Bolster (or 2–3 blankets)
-
3 additional blankets & 2 blocks
-
If attending via Zoom: something to elevate your legs (chair, ottoman, couch seat, or stacked blankets)
All props are provided for in-studio classes, though you’re welcome to bring your own.
If you’re longing to unfurl, replenish, and reconnect with the steadiness within, we invite you to gather with us for an upcoming Supreme Release Yoga offering.
Experience how supported rest and gentle release can help you feel more anchored, spacious, and renewed from the inside out.

Inner Harmony
4-Week Series with Nicole Blackwood
Tuesday, June 16 – July 14 (no class June 30)
7:15 pm (75 min)
In this series we will emphasize softening and opening the realm of the heart and thoracic spine. Through landing in the body, releasing tension in the pelvis, and decompressing the spine, the region of your heart is more available to soften, allowing you to embrace more harmony within.
