Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga is the yoga of recovery and relaxation, originating from the teachings of the master B.K.S. Iyengar and later perfected by his students to become a therapeutic style of yoga. The main goal of Restorative Yoga is to practice restful postures that help the body recover, regenerate, and heal.

Restorative Yoga in Varese: relaxation and balance

Restorative yoga is a recovery and relaxation-focused style of yoga, consisting of a few simple and accessible asanas, suitable even for those who do not regularly practice yoga or have limited flexibility. The Restorative Yoga course in Varese is a “passive” form of exercise performed in short sessions: the emphasis is not on physical exertion but on stretching the muscles brought into a state of deep relaxation, highly effective in combating accumulated stress.

Restorative Yoga prefers the use of props, which are used to support and maintain positions for a longer time. This way, muscles can be brought to their peak extension without exerting excessive force, and poses are often held for 10 or 20 consecutive minutes.
