Restorative Yoga

Introduction to Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga is great for relieving stress, and promoting relaxation. As a type of yoga therapy, restorative yoga is practiced by many who are working through an injury, and need something very gentle.

Restorative yoga is actually the very first type of yoga that I taught, and I’m glad to be able to offer it on demand.
