Navigating your way through the different styles of yoga can be a bit of a minefield, so, in this episode we break down what Restorative yoga is, the many benefits of Restorative yoga and some bits and bobs to bear in mind when you're practicing, and then we'll let you know how you can learn more about Restorative yoga with us at Yoga Hero if you'd like to.
Restorative yoga is, in essence, any yoga that is restful, nourishing, very calming for the nervous system and healing. Because of that; Restorative yoga is floor based, meaning little or no weight bearing, using props to support the bones - which the muscles detect, and so they start to relax, and they send messages of relaxation in to all the systems of the body - which is the key and the beauty of restorative yoga.
Restorative yoga is a counter-balance to modern day life. Many of us are very on-the-go, trying to fit more and more in to our days, trying to to work harder, to achieve more. There's nothing wrong with ambition and drive, but being all-go with no rest is unsustainable, and unfortunately we're seeing increasing levels of burn out, fatigue and dis-regulated nervous systems as a result.
In this podcast episode, we'll look at how to practice restorative yoga, what the benefits are, and lastly, how you can learn more about restorative yoga with Yoga Hero.
