To ‘rest’, to ‘relax’ and to ‘restore’ is a natural vital process in our lives. Rest supports optimal physiological functioning, and promotes healing and growth. During rest, one’s autonomic nervous system switches from sympathetic-dominance to parasympathetic-dominance, regeneration and restoration is accelerated. Research has shown that relaxation and rest is essential to everyone of all ages and culture, size and shape.
Why do we practice Restorative Yoga?

- To replenish moments of depletion and fatigue at every level
- To restore mental clarity and resilience
- To reconnect to our innate true nature
- To live with capacity for greater awareness and equanimity
- To offer the best version of ourselves to the world
