DEEPLY RELAX. RELEASE. RESTORE
​

Restorative yoga is a deeply nurturing practice that invites physical, emotional, and mental relaxation through gentle, supported poses held for extended periods—typically five minutes or more. Unlike more active styles such as Vinyasa, this slow-paced practice encourages stillness, softness, and surrender.
 

Using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, the body is fully supported so you can rest without muscular effort, allowing tension to melt away gradually and safely.
 

One of the powerful aspects of Restorative yoga is its effect on the fascia—the body’s connective tissue system. When the body is truly relaxed and supported, the myofascia (fascia surrounding the muscles) begins to release, rehydrate, and soften. This passive release improves circulation, reduces restrictions in the tissue, and helps restore the body’s natural alignment and mobility.
 

Restorative yoga also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering the body’s natural healing and recovery response. It supports:
 

• Deep relaxation and improved sleep

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Emotional release and nervous system regulation

• Greater body awareness and well-being
   

This practice is ideal for anyone recovering from stress, injury, overwork, or burnout—or simply wanting to pause, soften, and reconnect.
