Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is the practice of relaxation and restoration to invite deep release into the body systems. By releasing all effort we can achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Restorative yoga classes are relaxing and slow paced suitable for all levels of practice. Props, including blocks, bolsters, blankets and straps are used to support the poses comfortably for an extended periods of time. The parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated in Restorative Yoga promoting a relaxation response and reducing stress in the body. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing the heart rate and breath, increasing the immune response and blood flow to vital organs.
Restorative yoga assists in easing the physical and mental effects of stress, and common health ailments such as headaches, backaches, anxiety, and insomnia using restful, floor based poses and deep breathing techniques.
