Restorative Yoga
Supported gentle poses with props for deep relaxation and recovery
Restorative Yoga uses props (blankets, bolsters, blocks) to support the body in passive poses held for 5-10 minutes, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Unlike Yin Yoga, poses are fully supported to allow complete relaxation without any muscular effort. This practice is therapeutic, excellent for anxiety, insomnia, and chronic conditions. Each pose feels like a warm hug, making it ideal for self-care and emotional healing. Many find it deeply rejuvenating.
