Restorative yoga is a restful style of yoga that involves holding poses for a period of time using props like blocks, bolsters, and blankets for support, promoting deep relaxation and the union of body and mind.

 By holding poses for 10 to 20 minutes with the help of props, restorative yoga allows the body to relax, leading to a calm mind as tension is released effortlessly.

During a restorative yoga session,you are reminded to  focus on your breath, acknowledge any sensations or thoughts, and gently let them go.

This style of yoga is beneficial for reducing stress and complements more active yoga styles like vinyasa yoga  and dynamic hatha yoga.

Restorative yoga classes are laid back and low-energy, offering stillness for the body and mind and are a great complement to a busy life.

Holding comfortable poses for a certain period of time triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which assists in promoting relaxation, improving digestion, and redirecting energy following stressful periods.
