Week #2: 10 Benefits of Restorative Yoga

Pam’s notes:

• If you practice or teach restorative yoga, you know it is a very different practice from traditional yoga.
• In this post, you will be introduced (or reminded) about 10 benefits to restorative yoga.
• This is one of the most compelling benefits, in my opinion: “The slower pace and deep breathing that you get in a restorative yoga class triggers the parasympathetic nervous system from the very first pose. This activation helps to mitigate the effects of the regular fight-or-flight stress response that can be damaging to your physiology and well-being. The overall calming effect on the nervous system sets a deeply relaxing tone for the class that comforts your mind and body down to the cellular level.”
