Restorative: Rest and Repair

Fully supported poses held ten minutes at a time. Nothing to achieve.

Restorative yoga is not gentle yoga — it is a different practice, where props hold you completely so the nervous system can downshift. You will learn to set up five classic shapes properly, which is most of the skill, and get four full practices for stress, illness, insomnia and recovery.
