Restorative yoga is a restful practice that holds gentle yoga poses for a longer duration (up to 20 minutes) using props like yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters.
All poses are done in a seated or reclined position on the mat (there are no standing poses).
Occasionally, yoga nidra or a guided visualization will also be incorporated.
It is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga-the union of body and mind, and helps to promote healing of the body, mind and spirit.
