RESTORATIVE YOGA
30-45 Minutes
Restorative Yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching with the use of props to support the body in a way that gravity aids in the performance. Postures are held for a longer duration so that one will have more time to settle into the pose and truly relax.
Benefits: As the name suggests, this technique restores balance in your body and improves flexibility, relaxes the body and the mind, enhances healing and fastens recovery. It can help in pain management too. It instills mindfulness and brings down stress levels. Restorative Yoga helps reduce cortisol levels in the body which may help you lose subcutaneous body fat, boosts the immune system, optimizes energy flow to the organs, reduces the fight or flight stress response, speeds up the healing process and soothes the emotions.
