Restorative Yoga

What is Restorative Yoga?

“A restorative yoga sequence typically involves only five or six poses, supported by props that allow you to completely relax and rest. Held for 5 minutes or more, restorative poses include light twists, seated forward folds, and gentle backbends. Most restorative practices are based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar.” Yoga Journal

Restorative yoga is a form of yoga that seeks to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation with the aid of props. … Restorative yoga provides healing for the body and the mind. It is especially useful when you need to eliminate fatigue and stress that result from your daily activities.
