Restorative Yoga
During the practice of restorative yoga we are asking our mind and body to fully let go. Restorative yoga is a grounding practice with an emphasis on softening the body and opening the heart.
Props are used to fully and completely support the muscles, bones, mind and body in its entirety. This signals to the brain that we are safe and activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
Shapes are typically held anywhere from five to 10 minutes. This extended length of time gives the mind and body time to respond to the shape. The sequencing of restorative yoga mindfully covers the surface area of the body.
Typically, a restorative yoga practice consists of only four to six shapes. While focusing on the breath we release tension in the body.
Energy flow is a byproduct of restorative yoga.
It is not uncommon to have emotions surface as tension is released.
The practice of restorative yoga slows our Self down enough to listen to the inherent wisdom of the body.
