Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga is a calm and nurturing practice designed to help you slow down and fully rest. By using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, each pose is held comfortably for several minutes, allowing your body to relax deeply, your breath to soften, and your mind to find peaceful stillness. This practice creates a safe, supported environment where your entire system can let go completely.

When your body feels fully supported, your nervous system naturally shifts from a state of stress to calm, fostering healing and renewal.

Why Restorative Yoga Matters

In our fast-paced world, true rest often gets overlooked. Restorative Yoga provides a sanctuary where you can reconnect with yourself, release the burdens you’ve been carrying, and replenish your energy reserves. It offers a chance to feel grounded, refreshed, and balanced- both physically and mentally.

What to Expect in a Session

Sessions start with gentle grounding and breath awareness, then ease into a carefully guided sequence of supported poses. Each posture is set up for you to relax deeply, allowing plenty of time to settle into stillness. The pace is slow and soothing, often accompanied by soft music, quiet reflection, and sometimes gentle additions like Reiki, sound therapy, or breathwork for even deeper relaxation.
