Restorative yoga has a great therapeutic impact during times of stress, illness, injury, pain and over-scheduled lives. Restorative yoga helps to cultivate a healing environment in the body by balancing the nervous system's optimal energy flow, restoring us at a physical, physiological, energetic and emotional level.

In restorative yoga, you are resting on a mat on the floor supported by a variety of props. It is a style of yoga accessible to anyone to create balance, quiet and restore our bodies and minds to a state of homeostasis.

Props used: bolsters, blankets, blocks, pillows, eye pillows, heated rice bags, and sand bags to support the practitioner. It promotes deeper relaxation and creating space for healing.

Bolsters, blankets and props are available but you can bring your own so you can be as comfortable as possible.

FAQS
