What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic form of yoga that focuses on gentle, supported poses to facilitate deep rest and rejuvenation. Unlike vigorous yoga styles, Restorative Yoga emphasizes stillness, relaxation, and mindful breathing. In each session, props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks support the body, allowing you to hold poses comfortably for extended periods.
Key Elements of Restorative Yoga
- Gentle and Supported Poses – Using props for comfort and ease.
- Deep Relaxation – Encouraging physical, mental, and emotional release.
- Mindful Breathing – Enhancing awareness and calming the nervous system.
- Extended Pose Duration – Holding poses for 5-20 minutes for profound benefits.

Practicing Restorative Yoga regularly can improve overall health and well-being. Here are some key benefits:
✔ Reduces Stress and Anxiety – Activates the parasympathetic nervous system to lower stress.
✔ Enhances Sleep Quality – Promotes better rest and combats insomnia.
