Restorative yoga is a restful practice that holds yoga poses (asanas) for a longer duration using props like yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly.
When the body and mind are relaxed, tension is released. Become aware of sensations and thoughts that may arise.
The benefits of restorative yoga are similar to the many benefits of other styles of yoga, including:
- Increased relaxation
- Better sleep
- Improved well-being
- Better mood
- Reduced pain
- Gentle on the body
Bolsters, blocks, and straps are provided. Please bring a yoga mat, a blanket or two, a hard pillow, and a bottle of water. Don't forget your warm socks!
