Restorative yoga is completely different. It's about slowing down and opening the body through passive stretching. In this restorative class, you may hardly move at all, doing just a few postures in the course of an hour.

During these long holds, your muscles relax deeply. It's a completely different feeling from other types of yoga classes since props are used to support your body instead of your muscles. This class is very mellow, a good complement to more active practices and an excellent antidote to stress.
