Restorative yoga is about slowing down and moving gently and mindfully through a number of postures to help us rest and relax deeply. It provides a warm and calming opportunity to take time out from everyday demands and distractions so we may improve the balance between our body and mind. Restorative yoga stimulates and soothes the body organs providing the perfect antidote to the continuous “on” nature of modern life.
Comfort is fundamental in restorative yoga. Classes are slow paced and various props, such as bolsters, blocks and blankets are used to ensure the muscles are fully supported throughout the postures. The postures will create spaciousness and ease in our muscles, so our body feels open and refreshed.
