Restorative yoga focuses on relaxation and gentle movement. It aims to rejuvenate through stillness and easy stretching, making it perfect for unwinding after a stressful day or before bed. The practice involves minimal effort, using props like bolsters, blankets, and pillows to support the body and promote complete relaxation. Unlike athletic yoga forms, restorative yoga is not about building muscle but improving flexibility and relaxation. Common poses include Legs Up the Wall, Supported Child's Pose, Corpse Pose, Reclining Bound Angle Pose, Fish Pose, and Supine Spinal Twist. These poses gently stretch various muscles, helping to relieve stress and tension. The primary health benefits include activating the body's relaxation response, reducing chronic pain, lowering blood pressure and heart rate, and alleviating symptoms of various conditions. Always listen to your body, avoid discomfort, and consult a healthcare provider if you have any concerns or injuries.
