If you’re like many people who try yoga in a big city, you might be used to fast paced “cardio” type of yoga classes that have poses focusing on strength and a quicker pace of flows. If you think of yoga as something to help you stay fit you might not have ever thought about a slower paced yoga class or sequence such as hatha, yin or restorative yoga. But anyone can benefit from incorporative some of these flows into your yoga practice.
The benefits of a restorative yoga practice in short are:
- Nervous System – Soothing to your parasympathetic nervous system
- Body – Deeply relaxing for your body
- Mind – the slower pace helps you to increase your self-awareness and introspection and experience mindfulness
Because many of us are staying home in some form of quarantine, due to the virus going around the world, many of us are looking for new yoga and exercises routines we can do at home for stress relief.
If you like yoga, or even if you just want to try an easy sequence at home, you will love this relaxing restorative yoga sequence. This routine will help to relax your body, calm your mind, turn off the negative chatter in your head, and feel refreshed…in just 9 minutes!
During stressful times like this, restorative yoga can become your best friend. Whether you’re working from home, looking after your children full-time or just looking to break up your day a little, yoga allows us to tune into our bodies and calm our minds.
When stressed, our sympathetic nervous system enters the ‘fight or flight’ response – which in turn can cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, affect your memory, and increase stress levels. By working our way through a few relaxing and restorative yoga poses we connect our mind and body, allowing our bodies to return to a state of ‘rest and relax’, and therefore back to a healthier way of functioning.
