Restorative yoga, as the name suggests, is a yoga practice that restores the body and gives the body and mind a chance to rest.
It provides us with an opportunity to break away from the busy and noisy daily life and to cultivate both physically and mentally.
Restorative yoga is a kind of passive practice, such as supine bunching and inverted arches, which can help the body rest, stretch muscles, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, calm the nervous system, and let yourself enter a state of deep relaxation.
From the surface, restorative yoga looks like a nap: many pillows, comfortable blankets.
In fact, restorative yoga posture can relax your body and your mind and restore vitality.
Restorative yoga exercises usually involve only five or six postures, and are supplemented by tools that allow you to completely relax and rest.
Hold each position for 5 minutes or more.
Restorative posture includes slight twisting, forward folding and soft back bending.
It is suitable for all people who need to relax, including beginners and practitioners with relatively stiff body.
