Simply put, restorative yoga focuses on relaxing the body in restful poses, usually well supported by props (blankets, bolsters, blocks, straps) and held for several minutes.
Restorative classes are usually very relaxing and are a good complement to your current yoga practice. Because these are restful poses, the body has an opportunity to renew and heal. Countless studies have proven the physical and emotional benefits of this kind of practice.
I’ll be leading a Restorative Yoga class Friday, April 8 from 6:00 PM until 7:30 PM at Harmony Yoga in Ann Arbor. The fee is $20 and it’s helpful if you pre-register since class size will be limited to a dozen. If you’re interested, let me know and I can get you a registration form/put you on the roster of participants.
Hope to see you there!
