Restorative Yoga

Rejuvenate, Relax & Restore

"Restorative poses of being rather than doing." Judith Lasater

Restorative Yoga is a practice dedicated to deeply nourishing the body through mindfully resting the body and mind. The practice focuses on "being" rather than doing. An extensive range of yoga props(blocks, blankets, straps and bolsters) can be used to create a fully supported practice allowing the body to unwind passively and the mind to move towards stillness.

Restorative Yoga

Rejuvenate, Relax & Restore

What is Restorative Yoga?

 

Restorative Yoga is a series of poses designed to completely support the body in stillness to assist deep relaxation, healing, and rest. The body is held in the safety of a still and usually quiet room with props including bolsters, blocks, and blankets. This practice enhances the body's natural healing abilities to restore more efficiently and dissolves the residue of everyday stress. Restorative yoga poses are not about stretching the body, they are about opening to collect nourishment. Restorative Yoga is for anyone and can be a real good start into the yoga world.

 

It is of no surprise that the practice of Restorative Yoga is part of a growing body of evidence that reports myriad beneficial effects among those who suffer from PTSD. From decreased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, enhanced immune function and a reduction in depression and anxiety, survivors of trauma are discovering the healing power of yoga.

 

Recent studies also hint at Restorative Yoga’s ability to reduce stress and improve memory function and to improve the cognitive functioning of elderly nursing home residents. One multifaceted program that used meditation and restorative yoga succeeded in reversing some memory loss. Additionally, a small trial program in the UK that offered gentle yoga to caregivers and dementia sufferers together was both feasible for and well-received by participants.

With Rheumatoid Arthritis it is really important to try and have a daily exercise practice. We encourage movement through yoga as this can truly help reduce pain and inflammation in the joints. Restorative Yoga allows our Body, Mind, and Soul to unwind and creates internal peace and awareness. It is a slow practice that nourishes the body and allows it to deeply relax in postures that are often held around 5 minutes or more.

Just waking up and taking the first steps out of bed in the morning can be extremely painful for RA sufferers. Through movement and exercise the joints can ease in discomfort and slowly gain more flexion. These calming yoga postures also allow the body to move away from the fight or flight mode associated with incessant pain and step into an inner calm and a refreshed state. This calmer state in turn helps to improve digestion, which is heavily compromised in most people with RA.

Yoga is very effective in treating Varicose Veins It helps in alleviating pain and also prevents future attacks. Yoga stretching and relaxation techniques can be particularly beneficial for varicose veins. Certain positions, such this Restorative Yoga pose Legs Up The Wall promoting circulation and the drainage of blood from the legs. The deep-breathing exercises in yoga may further alleviate discomfort by getting more oxygen into the bloodstream. yoga is an effective protocol for preventing and treating varicose veins.
