Restorative Yoga
|
Sunrise Wellness Community now offers a yoga practice that involves active relaxation. In Restorative Yoga, the focus is not on the quantity of poses but rather the quality. The body’s relaxation response is activated using props to completely support and build the floor up to the student. Poses are held for 5-20 minutes, allowing the body to completely relax in the pose.

The goal is to activate the body’s relaxation response and bring total relaxation and surrender to the body. Unlike a power flow class, Restorative Yoga does not seek to find the deepest sensation. Rather, it seeks no sensation at all. Restorative Yoga is about finding the deepest opening available.

Restorative Yoga can be beneficial for people who are going through major life transitions causing stress, those with daily stressors, those recovering from injuries or illnesses, people in need of deep relaxation and rest or anyone else who wishes to practice.
