The Art of Relaxation
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a meditative practice that helps calm the mind, reset the nervous system, and deeply relax the body. This style of yoga is based on spontaneity and gentleness.
We use props such as blankets, bolsters, blocks, bricks, belts, sandbags, eye bag, chair, and sometimes even a wall to induce the body and mind into a state of deep relaxation. The goal is to balance the nervous system in order to allow the body to free itself from deep-rooted stress. This allows our body to rest, rejuvenate, and regain its innate capacity for healing.
Practicing Restorative Yoga allows us to cultivate “the art of doing nothing.” It is one of the most effective tools for combating fatigue, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. It is also a deeply transformative path to self-awareness, intuition, and spiritual growth.
