Restorative yoga is a pathway to replenishment of your inner resources. It is a nurturing, powerful practice especially suited to anyone experiencing chronic stress, pain or health concerns. Based on the teachings of BKS Iyengar, you will utilize props such as blocks, bolsters, blankets, and straps. Through longer, assisted holds, the tendons, ligaments, and muscles loosen their grip on the bones. This softening creates more space for the breath to relax the fascia, and engages the parasympathetic nervous system. By activating the relaxation response, not only does the mind-body experience more stillness, but the autonomic nervous system can begin to balance. The slow, intentional movements and breathwork are suitable for all levels of students looking to heal their bodies and restore vitality.
