The Flow of Movement in Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a gentle and calming practice that focuses on deeply relaxing the body and mind through long-held, supported postures. This practice uses props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to encourage passive stretches, allowing the body to completely relax and restore. Restorative Yoga emphasizes slow, deliberate movements and mindful breathing to facilitate deep relaxation and stress relief. It nurtures the body’s natural ability to heal by promoting circulation, reducing tension, and calming the nervous system. The extended time spent in each posture encourages a profound sense of stillness and peace, helping to reduce anxiety and improve emotional balance. Restorative Yoga offers a peaceful counterbalance to more intense physical practices, fostering recovery and promoting mental clarity and well-being.
