Restorative yoga is a gentle and calming practice that helps both the body and mind settle into deep relaxation. With the support of props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, each pose is designed to feel comfortable, safe, and effortless. Instead of stretching or pushing yourself, you simply relax into each shape and allow your body to unwind at its own pace. This style of yoga is based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, and it was beautifully developed by Judith Hanson Lasater, who emphasizes that rest is a vital part of overall well-being. In restorative yoga, you give yourself permission to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel supported both inside and out. It is an ideal practice for stress relief, resetting the nervous system, gentle healing, and for those days when you need care rather than challenge.
