Experience nature-inspired restorative yoga classes that mirror the cycles of life, engage the parasympathetic nervous system, and encourage intentional self-reflection.
What is Restorative Yoga?
Rather than focusing on building strength and flexibility, restorative yoga promotes relaxation, engages the parasympathetic nervous system, and holds space for the body to heal itself.
The origins of restorative yoga can be traced back to B.K.S. Iyengar. His intentional use of props to facilitate deep healing is a key aspect of the practice. Judith Hanson Lasater, a student of Iyengar, was a prominent teacher and writer who further developed restorative yoga in the west during the 70s and well into today.
Restorative postures are held anywhere from 5 - 20 minutes each. Props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks are used to create support, allowing for your muscles and mind to completely relax.
Some of the benefits of restorative yoga include improved sleep, improved emotional wellbeing, release of chronic tension, and reduced stress. Too good to be true? Give it a try and see for yourself.
