What is Restorative Yoga?

Dedicated time to truly rest

The Restorative style of Yoga asks absolutely nothing of you. The invitation of this practice is to simply "be". Be still, supported, comforted, peaceful and at ease.

This world is moving fast, as we all know. I don't believe our bodies and minds were built for the social and technological demands of the current times. Most of us have a really difficult time truly resting and recovering from our day to day lives. Restorative Yoga is where we can find this recuperation.

During a class you will use bolsters, blocks and blankets to achieve the most supported posture for your body. My role is to make sure you are comfortably positioned and tucked in. Each posture is held for up to ten minutes, with meditative guidance, earthy natural scents and serene, peaceful music.

Restorative Yoga may help reduce stress, improve sleep, balance the nervous system and ease tension in the body.

Restorative or yin?

Which one is right for you

Yin yoga

Poses are held for three to five minutes to gently stretch deep connective tissue. You feel a mild, steady stretch. Usually taught in group studio classes.

Restorative yoga

Every part of your body is fully supported, so there is no stretch to hold at all, only rest. Postures last up to ten minutes. With Jenn, it is private and one-on-one.

If you want to unwind completely rather than stretch, restorative is the one for you.
