What is Restorative Yoga?
Imagine yourself in a yoga posture, surrounded by props to support you in that pose so that you are able to rest while receiving the benefits of this particular asana. The props fill the space between you and the floor so that the only effort required by you is to stay aware and breath into this beautiful, resting body for anywhere from 5 - 20 minutes.
Restorative yoga provides a space for inner quiet that brings wellness and healing deep into the body. It's a must-do for those whose lives are operating at top speed and intensity most of the time or those who are recovering from physical injury, emotional strain, or spiritual disconnection. It's a must-add for those who already practice yoga, but focus entirely or substantially on practices that are vigorous, athletic, movement-based or intense.
Restorative yoga offers to add the balance to a yoga practice that will create a softer, more supple outer body reducing tension and movement restriction. The softening of the outer body allows awareness of the inner body to develop so that a strength can be gained deep in the core of the body.
Yoga is all about creating harmony and a union of integrated action and awareness. Restorative yoga provides the means to develop those qualities in our practice and in our daily lives.
