Restorative yoga is a form of yoga that seeks to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation with the aid of props. The use of props makes it easier for you to maintain balance while you are stimulating and relaxing your body. The props provide support for your body when you are stretching or relaxing. While some restorative yoga poses are beneficial to the entire body, others target specific parts of the body, such as the heart or the lungs.
Many restorative yoga poses are similar to normal yoga poses, except that they are performed with the support of props. Each restorative yoga pose is held for a few minutes, and it can even be as long as 10 to 15 minutes.
Restorative yoga works to create balance between the body and the mind through the use of breath work and poses aimed at opening the body and relaxing the nervous system. The aim is to leave you feeling relaxed and renewed.
