Pressing Pause - Restorative
Yoga For Creating Space & Mobility

Restorative practices are incredibly supportive for a racing mind, elevated nervous system and long held tension in the body. They allow the body to rest in positions that offer support and very gentle opening. I know that this type of class is hard for some yogis because we have been so deeply engrained with the idea of "doing" instead of "allowing" or noticing. However, these poses are absolutely DOING something for your body on a subtle and extremely important level. So here's your permission to just enjoy some stillness.
You'll need: a bolster or something similar like a hardy pillow or couch cushion, one extra pillow, a strap if you have one and a couple blocks.
At the end of this video, I had to do a voiceover due to technical difficulties. Just a heads up so you aren't shocked!
