But what’s the actual point of Restorative yoga? I mean, aren’t we just lying around being self indulgent or (worse!) lazy?
No. Here’s another way to think about it. When we make the physical body feel comfortable, and the energetic body feel safe, we are actually:
Building resiliency to stress
Attuning to our inner states
Self-soothing
Re-connecting to self
Transforming how we experience the body
Relaxing into abundant inner energy
And unlocking creativity
Not to mention the proven benefits for circulation, immunity, digestion, fertility, mental health etc.
So let me offer a few ways to support your practice:
A free full length guided Restorative Savasana Session.
A Slooow Flow movement and breath class with a juicy 15 minute Savasana at the end. For $15 the recording is yours to download.
Yoga and Immunity live event on Zoom with Mama. Recording available.
European yogis: I’m teaching a RY Teacher Training in Munich from 3-6 October.
And lastly, two free links to stimulate your mind this week:
A free wellness summit hosted by Stanford University that includes several lectures from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score.
A podcast episode about mindfulness of the body.
What’s your favorite reason to practice Restorative yoga?
Until next Sunday,
Lizzie
