Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. Through the use of props (blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps) that allow you to hold poses longer, (3-5 minutes) muscles are allowed to relax deeply.

It's a unique feeling because the props, rather than your muscles, are used to support the body. Restorative yoga enhances flexibility, deeply relaxes the body, stills the mind, improves capacity for healing and balancing, balances the nervous system, boosts the immune system, develops compassion and understanding, enhances mood.
