Paula Hines @ucanyoga1 is our expert in Restorative Yoga and shares the following on why this gentle practice can benefit us all;

“Sometimes referred to as ‘active relaxation’, in this style of yoga (stemming from the therapeutic work of BKS Iyengar) we are consciously manipulating the nervous system to create ease. Props are used to facilitate relaxation by supporting the body. While the body is supported there is no need to ‘hold’ a posture, therefore opening the door more easily for us to completely let go.

A very important aspect of restorative yoga is that our bodies are given the opportunity to truly rest. With our never-ending to-do lists we can sometimes think of resting as being lazy. But for our health and wellbeing, rest is a necessity rather than a luxury. When we are overworked or fatigued we may think the answer is to simply to slouch in front of the TV and zone out or to get more sleep. However, it is rest that facilitates sleep, not the other way round. This is why we can find ourselves getting a full night’s sleep, yet still wake up the next morning feeling exhausted. And while you are so tired it’s very hard to be at your best.”

Teaching Restorative Yoga: Fundamentals Part 1
Whether you want to teach restorative classes or one-to-ones, incorporate restorative postures into your active classes, or develop your own practice, then this workshop is for you. The day will be a mix of practical, lecture and discussion including the principles of restorative yoga and breaking down some of the fundamental restorative yoga postures. There will be teaching practice with partner work as well as the opportunity to experience being in supported restorative postures over the course of the day. Tips on sequencing will also be offered.
