Restorative Yoga

The name is based on the English word restore, which means to restore, heal or re-establish balance. Unlike the often dynamic and physically demanding postures of Hatha Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga, the postures are held for a longer period of time and purposefully promote relaxation.

This form of yoga is also suitable for recovering from injury or illness, and can help to overcome minor depression and anxiety, as well as to cope with traumatic events. This yoga is also suitable during menstruation and pregnancy.

Restorative yoga postures use props (cushions, pads, tapes, bolsters, blankets, or chairs), that support and support the body. The principles of using the aids are described in detail in the book.
