Restorative yoga

Restorative Yoga is a practice that encourages slowing down and opening up one's body through passive stretching. It strives to eliminate the pull of gravity by bringing the ground up to one's mindfully positioned bodies through the use of props. It allows for deep relaxation of all the muscles in one's body and helps in the cultivation of the skill of conscious relaxation. It down-regulates one's nervous system and allows for healing through the sense of unshackled release. It helps in reducing the production of stress hormones and muscle tension, improves the functionality of the immune system, and helps with insomnia.

Yin Yoga, conversely, is an active practice. Muscles are typically not warmed up beforehand so that heat is generated by way of deep stretching in a pose that is often held for a few minutes at a time. Through a well-being lens, Yin Yoga allows us to sit with our discomfort – a key component of resilience.
