Restorative Yoga

What is Restorative Yoga?

Restorative yoga is a gentle, low-impact practice that helps you relax and rejuvenate. It's often recommended for people who are new to yoga, or those who have experienced injury or illness and want to practice safely.

It is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. If you take a restorative class, you may hardly move at all, doing just a few postures in the course of an hour. It is a completely different experience than most contemporary yoga.

The majority of yoga classes are an active practice in which you move from pose to pose, building heat and increasing your strength and flexibility in equal measure. The general trend in yoga is toward more athletic and acrobatic styles of practice.

During the long holds of restorative yoga, however, your muscles are allowed to relax deeply. It's a unique feeling because props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body. Restorative classes are very mellow, making them a good complement to more active practices (as well as our busy lives) and an excellent antidote to stress. Stillness is a powerful practice.

Who can practice?

Restorative yoga can be practiced by anyone looking to reduce stress, improve sleep and alleviate pain. Here are some reasons why restorative yoga is a great addition to your routine:

Why should you try it?

It’s relaxing. The poses in restorative yoga are held longer than in other types of yoga, so you get more time to relax and unwind. Your muscles will slowly release tension, which improves flexibility and reduces aches and pains.

It improves sleep quality. Those who practice restorative yoga regularly report better sleep quality, according to research published in the Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine. Researchers found that when participants practiced restorative poses before bedtime for two months, they had an easier time falling asleep, stayed asleep longer and experienced fewer interruptions during the night compared with those who didn't use restorative poses as part of their bedtime routine.

It improves blood pressure regulation. Research published in Evidence-Based Complementary Alternative Medicine found that when participants did restorative poses three times per week for eight weeks.

Clinical research into restorative yoga has found that it can decrease depression in cancer survivors; improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain symptoms in cancer patients; and help patients manage the toxicity of cancer treatments.

There is so much out there to learn about this beautiful practice and so much more I will talk about in up coming post. I hope this has sparked your interest in restorative for your personal practice.

Til next time.

Much Love,

Shanda

“The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free her/himself* is a delusion. We are in it together and the company of spiritual friends helps us realize our interconnectedness.” - Tara Brach [Yogini Akosua Aset, Photographer Ulla Al-Hamad]

Why should you meditate?

Meditation is a practice that has been around for thousands of years, and it's not just for monks or yogis. It's for everyone. Meditation can help anyone feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to themselves.

Here are some of the benefits of meditation:

-It helps you focus better on the present moment.

-It reduces stress.

-It increases your ability to deal with emotions like anger and sadness in a healthy way.

-It helps you become more mindful of your choices in life and how they affect others (for example, choosing not to eat something unhealthy).

People who meditate tend to be happier because they're able to take control over their lives instead of letting things happen to them by accident or chance alone—which makes them feel less anxious about their lives overall!

Meditation is a great way to train yourself how to focus on the moment instead of worrying about past or future events that haven't happened yet (and might not ever happen). It's also a simple way to improve concentration and awareness while reducing stress levels by 20%. We have a great beginner's guide on how to meditate here but if you're not sure where to start yet, we recommend trying the Insight Timer app (free) which will provide prompts for you during your meditation session so all you have to do is close your eyes and listen.

I’ve been practicing meditation for about 10 years now. And I can attest that I’ve noticed a real change in my life since I’ve started. And the days that I don’t (just being honest here) it’s a little more difficult day. There are so many different forms of meditation as well. We will dive into that in a later post. Til then.

Much love,

Shanda
