The sanctuary setting of the greenhouse studio is the perfect environment to experience the profound benefits of deep relaxation and rejuvenation in a 90-minute Restorative Yoga session. This gentle practice is the perfect gift for a private group of 2 or 3 people.
Using a variety of bolsters, blankets, and yoga blocks, you will be guided into just a few poses, softening, draping, and inviting your body to rest deeply and completely. By spending time in each posture, with the body fully supported, you have the opportunity to observe, and then soften, layer after layer of unnecessary tension that you may not have even realized you were holding.
This nourishing practice can offer many benefits, including:
- Stress Reduction: The slow, gentle nature of restorative yoga helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can lead to decreased stress levels and a deeper sense of relaxation.
- Pain Relief: The gentle stretches and supported poses can help alleviate chronic pain and tension, especially in areas like the lower back, neck, and shoulders.
- Increased Mindfulness: The focus on breath and mindfulness in restorative yoga encourages a deeper connection with the present moment, bringing awareness to areas that need support and release, as well as enhancing overall mental clarity and emotional balance.
- Enhanced Sleep Quality: The relaxation techniques used in restorative yoga can help calm the mind and body, supporting better sleep and improved overall restfulness.
- Better Circulation: Supported poses and breath awareness improve blood flow and circulation, which can help with overall cardiovascular health.
- Enhanced Recovery: Taking the time to deeply rest helps to restore the body and mind, reducing muscle soreness, stiffness, and fatigue while improving outlook.
- Boosted Immune Function: Regular practice can help lower stress and promote relaxation, which in turn can support the immune system.
- Improved Flexibility: By holding poses for longer periods with the support of props, restorative yoga helps to gradually release muscular tension, and may improve range of movement.
