Introduction to Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a deeply calming and nourishing practice designed to support complete rest and relaxation. In this class, your body is fully supported in longer-held postures, allowing you to soften, slow down and truly let go.
This gentle practice creates space for physical, mental and emotional relaxation, offering a powerful antidote to busy lives and active schedules.
What to Expect
Classes move at a very slow and restful pace, with each posture supported by props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks and straps. Poses are held for extended periods of time, with no strain or effort, allowing the body to relax deeply and safely.
The emphasis is on comfort, ease and stillness — giving your nervous system permission to settle and reset.
Rest and Nervous System Support
As you relax into each posture, the parasympathetic nervous system is gently stimulated, encouraging a relaxation response in the body. This can help slow the breath and heart rate, reduce stress, and support healing and balance within the body.
Moments of stillness may sometimes bring up emotional sensations or vulnerability. If this happens, you’re encouraged to stay connected to the breath and allow the experience to gently pass.
