Restorative yoga provides you with a safe harbor wherein you can reconnect with your true nature,  Restorative yoga is a wonderful practice when you are physically, emotionally or mentally tired.  And if you are really tired and need a nap, no better time than when fully relaxed.

Ayurveda, the science of life, is a lifestyle.  Ayurveda and yoga are two interrelated branches of the same great tree of the ancient wisdom that originated in India thousands of years ago.  To nourish your body with ayurveda in regards to food treat yourself to IQed which contains  Turmeric, Amalaki, Haritaki, Gymnema, Green Tea, Guggul, Cocoa, Cinnamon, and Cayenne Pepper.

There are numerous yoga styles, each expressing their own blend of breathing, poses, meditation, relaxation, and philosophy. Restorative yoga, a practice that leads the yogi toward a more healing and recuperative experience and frequently relies on the use of props and the prolonged holding of a few simple poses to achieve a deep level of relaxation is the one that is more like adult nap time.  Don't let that fool you into believing that restorative yoga isn't important as relaxation can be looked at as a form of preventative medicine.

Studies have shown that relaxation therapies promote a decrease in inflammatory signaling in stressful situations.While regular exercise has powerful and undeniable health benefits.restorative yoga is intended to take the mindfulness that is found in all disciplines of yoga to the next level. It’s still and slow, and it’s more about the mind as it is the body.

Reasons for restorative yoga 

While restorative yoga will make you more flexible, it's not a stretching class and there is no end goal involved, like being able to touch your toes after 10 sessions. You are exploring what happens when you release the tension your body habitually holds.

The deep breathing and slow pace in a restorative yoga class creates a calming effect that comforts your mind and body down to the cellular level. Restorative yoga helps you reach an optimal alignment.

3,  Slows Down the Pace of Life

Restorative yoga is an excellent opportunity to disconnect from the world and your "to do" list and helps to prepare the mind and body for the inward stroke of meditation and deepened awareness. Restorative yoga relaxes and regenerates both the body and the mind.

4,  .Benefit from Full and Deep Stretches

 Long, supported poses help your body to fully engage, soften, and allow the precise positioning to work its magic.  Anyone can do restorative yoga, including older people, as well as people with injuries or illnesses, as long as the practice is adapted and adjusted to their needs and limits

Restorative yoga creates awareness of self and body that comes through the practice.  Restorative yoga improves flexibility without injury risk or pain if done with mindfulness, care and respect for the body.

6,  Fosters Transcendence

Restorative yoga can be considered a precursor to extended periods of meditation. Because restorative yoga relaxes the mind, it helps relieve anxiety.

7,  Cultivates Heightened Body Awareness

8.  Deepens Self-Awareness and Introspection

9,  Strengthens Acceptance and Detachment

Through restorative yoga the greatest benefits are not through forcing yourself into a pose, but by releasing and surrendering to it. This  helps with acceptance of your body and strengthens your ability to let go of preconceived notions of your body and how you think it should look or feel, both in and out of a pose. 

10,  Helps You Feel Safe and Nurtured (adult nap time) 

In daily life it’s easy to get pulled into insecurity, anxiety, and uncertainty. Restorative yoga provides you with a safe harbor wherein you can reconnect with your true nature,  Restorative yoga is a wonderful practice when you are physically, emotionally or mentally tired.  And if you are really tired and need a nap, no better time than when fully relaxed.
