Restorative yoga is a gentle and therapeutic form of yoga that focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation. It involves holding gentle poses for an extended period of time while using props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to support the body. Restorative yoga can help to reduce stress, relieve tension, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. By slowing down and allowing the body to fully relax, restorative yoga can also improve circulation, support the immune system, and enhance overall physical and mental health. It can be helpful for people recovering from illness or injury, as it provides a gentle and supportive way to stretch and strengthen the body.
For this restorative yoga class Rob uses a thinner foam block, an 8 foot yoga strap, a yoga blanket, a folding yoga chair and a yoga bolster or two. These are not essential but recommended for a better experience. They can be bought on the resources page here.
