About Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a gentle style of yoga that emphasizes relaxation and rejuvenation for both body and mind. At Avata, poses are held for extended periods with the support of props like blankets, blocks, and bolsters, allowing you to release tension and settle into deep, effortless relaxation.
Unlike more active styles of yoga, restorative yoga asks very little of the body and gives a great deal back. It’s accessible to individuals of all ages and fitness levels, making it one of the most nurturing practices you can add to your routine.
