Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing practice where you primarily lie down in comfortable, fully supported poses using props such as bolsters and blankets. With an emphasis on slow, gentle breathing, this class invites the body to release tension and the mind to settle, creating space for true rest. Poses are held for longer periods, allowing the nervous system to reset and the body to shift into a state of healing and balance. This practice is ideal for anyone experiencing stress, fatigue, or simply seeking a quiet, nourishing pause in their day.

A Restorative Approach to Yoga:

In restorative yoga, poses are fully supported and held for longer periods to encourage deep rest rather than effort or intensity. The focus is on your breath, not on how a pose looks, but on how comfortable and at ease you feel in your body. You are invited to soften, release, and rest without strain—adjusting or coming out of a pose at any time. Practiced regularly, restorative yoga supports overall wellbeing by calming the nervous system, easing tension, and cultivating a deep sense of relaxation and balance.
