Restorative yoga is a slow and mindful practice, which usually involves the use of props such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps and walls, to aid the student in holding a pose for an extended period of time. Using props allows the student to feel “supported” and “safe”, and therefore, the unconscious and habitual muscle tension has a chance to be dissolved and released. This practice leads the yogi towards a more healing and recuperative experience, achieving a deep level of relaxation in body, breath and mind.
This workshop includes:
* Benefits of Restorative yoga
* Why do we need to relax?
* You can't teach relaxation until you know it yourself. Truly experience relaxation in your body.
* Learn the difference between stretching and releasing
* How and when to use props for your own comfort
* How and when to use props during a yoga class
* Learn an array of restorative yoga asana using props, designed to create a rest response in the body, breath and mind
* Day 2 focuses on how to teach restorative yoga.
