Restorative yoga is a slow and mindful practice, which usually involves the use of props such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps and walls, to aid the student in holding a pose for an extended period of time. Using props allows the student to feel “supported” and “safe”, and therefore, the unconscious and habitual muscle tension has a chance to be dissolved and released. This practice leads the yogi towards a more healing and recuperative experience, achieving a deep level of relaxation in body, breath and mind.
This workshop will include:
- Benefits of Restorative yoga
- Why do we need to relax?
- You can’t teach relaxation until you know it yourself. Truly experience relaxation in your body.
- How and when to safely use props in a yoga class
- Learn a variety of yoga poses using props, from simple and gentle movements, to deeper postures such as forward bends and back bends.
- How to teach restorative yoga.
- Difference between stretching and release.
