Restorative Yoga uses props  bolsters, blankets, and blocks  to support the body in completely passive poses held for extended periods, activating deep parasympathetic relaxation. It is the only practice specifically engineered for recovery not by stretching harder, but by creating the conditions for the body to release completely. Every class changes the quality of your sleep, your mood, and your movement. One session and you will understand why the most serious athletes make this non-negotiable.
