Restorative yoga is a gentle and therapeutic form of yoga that focuses on relaxation, restoration, and rejuvenation. It uses props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to support the body in poses and encourages long, passive holds.
The goal of restorative yoga is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body relax and heal.
It can be especially beneficial for those experiencing stress, anxiety, or chronic pain. Restorative yoga can also help improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and promote better sleep. It’s an accessible and inclusive practice that can be enjoyed by all levels of yogis, including those with injuries or physical limitations.
