Restorative yoga is a practice of passive healing. It involves holding gentle poses for extended periods, often using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to fully support the body. The goal is not to stretch, but to release tension and enter a state of deep relaxation. It's the ultimate form of yoga self-care.
The Art of Active Rest
This practice allows your body and mind to completely unwind. By supporting your body with props, your muscles can relax fully, which helps to soothe the nervous system and reduce fatigue. Restorative yoga is an excellent antidote to a fast-paced, stressful lifestyle, helping to restore your energy and promote healing.
