Restorative Yoga (Sept. Intro Price)

Service Description

Restorative yoga is a gentle, meditative form of yoga that focuses on relaxation and healing. Unlike more physically demanding yoga styles, restorative yoga involves holding simple postures for extended periods—often with the support of props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks—to encourage the body to release tension and deeply relax. This practice is designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" functions of the body. By engaging this system, restorative yoga helps reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, and promote better sleep. It provides a unique opportunity to slow down, be present, and cultivate mindfulness in a soothing environment. Restorative yoga is accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, including those who are recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, pregnant or experiencing fatigue. It is often recommended as a complementary practice to more active forms of exercise, helping to balance the nervous system and replenish energy levels. The focus of restorative yoga is less on flexibility or strength and more on calming the mind and healing the body. As the body relaxes, the mind can also enter a state of deep rest, similar to meditation. This practice is ideal for individuals who are dealing with stress, burnout, or emotional fatigue, as it provides a safe space to unwind and restore both physically and mentally. Restorative yoga also has a spiritual dimension. It can be a form of self-care and self-compassion, encouraging practitioners to be gentle with themselves, listen to their bodies, and let go of the need to “do” or achieve. This practice cultivates an attitude of non-striving and surrender, allowing the practitioner to experience a sense of wholeness, inner peace and healing.
