Restorative Yoga!

Written By: Coach MJ

As we watch the changing seasons, the beauty all around us with the the colours changing, fields and gardens emptying and looking for rest for the next season, it is a gentle reminder that we also need to take time to rest, refuel and re-energize our own bodies to keep up with all the demands that life can throw at us.

Restorative Yoga is the perfect opportunity to help you do just that!

This style of yoga helps you learn to shut out the business of life and the noise around you to relax and release built up tension in our mind and body. Blocks, pillows and blankets can be used to assist you to find support and comfort in a pose for 3-15 minutes as you use your breath to learn to slow down and let go. Adjusting your position as needed to your individual needs. Your coach is there to guide and support you throughout the session.

The benefits of restorative yoga can be:

– stress release by relaxing both mind and body

– soothes the nervous system bring it from the flight/fight response back to our parasympathetic or relaxation nervous system

– is gentle on the body for anyone who has chronic or acute pain or health conditions.

– is helpful to release tight muscles that reduce mobility and flexibility

– promotes better sleep
