Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. During the long holds in this practice, your muscles are allowed to relax deeply. It's a unique feeling because props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body. Restorative classes are very mellow, making them a lovely complement to more active practices and an excellent antidote to stress. Stillness is a powerful practice!
Recommended Props: Yoga Blocks (you can use a stack of books or folded towels instead), Blankets, Bolster or Pillow, Yoga Strap (you can substitute a belt, tie or mat strap)
