Restorative Yoga is a gentle, therapeutic style of yoga that encourages deep relaxation, nervous system recovery, and mindful awareness. Unlike physically demanding yoga styles, restorative yoga emphasizes stillness, comfort, and long-held supported postures that allow the body and mind to heal naturally.
As stress-related health concerns continue to rise worldwide, more yoga practitioners are choosing Restorative Yoga Teacher Training to learn evidence-informed relaxation techniques and share them with students seeking balance and wellbeing.
What Is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative Yoga uses props such as bolsters, blankets, yoga blocks, straps, and chairs to fully support the body. Each posture is held comfortably for several minutes, allowing muscles to relax and the parasympathetic nervous system to activate.
