Yuj Valley designed restorative yoga in such a way that encourages physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Appropriate for all levels, restorative yoga is practiced at a slow pace, focusing on long holds, stillness, and deep breathing.

When you are practicing restorative yoga, you will feel a sense of motionlessness and shapelessness, and this can lead you to feel some emotional discomfort and vulnerability. If this happens, stay with the breath and allow it to pass.

Why Restorative Yoga

Practicing Restorative yoga can have enormous benefits for both body and mind but when the pace of life is fast, we may find our minds and bodies speed up to match it. Our minds start to the race, we can feel overwhelmed, and drained. If we are also drawn to a strong, dynamic yoga practice or other high-intensity exercises, then we may get overstimulated. Our nervous systems then take a beating.

Restorative yoga even once a week can help to balance our busy lifestyles and has an enormous capacity to heal stress-related physical and emotional issues. In Restorative yoga class, we use props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to completely support the body in poses and we stay there for up to 10 minutes per pose. There is no muscular effort involved so Restorative yoga can also be helpful to try if you are chronically ill or recovering from injury.

Restorative yoga benefits

Yuj Valley designed restorative yoga helps to combat the physical and mental effects of everyday stress and eases common ailments such as headaches, backaches, anxiety, and insomnia with the use of restful poses and deep breathing techniques.
