Restore This Way…

In a more restorative yoga class (like the ones I teach), it’s important to remember that stretching to or beyond the point of resistance creates tension; aim to release deep within the muscle groups which happens just a bit before we become aware of the sensation of stretch. Using props like yoga bricks, extra yoga mats, walls or pillows are helpful. And why it’s important to support the body in your postures if need be, so that you feel comfortable and sensation-neutral.
