What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga is a gentle, calming practice designed to soothe the mind and body. Unlike more active forms of yoga, restorative yoga focuses on relaxation, deep breathing, and mindful stillness. It involves holding poses for extended periods, often with the support of props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to ensure complete comfort and alignment.
This practice is ideal for anyone seeking to reduce stress, recover from injury, or find a peaceful respite from the busyness of daily life. Through the gentle stretching and supported postures, restorative yoga helps to release tension, improve flexibility, and promote a sense of inner calm and balance.
