Restorative Yoga uses time and gravity to let the body soften, stretch, and most importantly, relax. In a restorative yoga class the body is supported by a bolster, strap, blocks, chair, sandbags and/or blankets. By supporting the body with props, the muscles, joints, tissues, and mind can quietly soften into a pose. Each pose is held for about 4-10 minutes.

Restorative yoga will improve your range of motion, reduce stress. It is relaxing, and rejuvenating. You will finish class with a calmer mind, and balanced physiology, and it aids in getting a good night’s rest.
