RESTORATIVE YOGA - unplug and recharge (20 minutes)

I am putting this out a day before Christmas Eve! We are fully into the holiday season, fully in the darkest time of the year (here in the Northern hemisphere). In the nature, this is the time for hibernation, for slowing down, for sleeping more and taking rest. Time for introspection, maybe count your blessings of the year that has almost passed. 

Let go of what no longer serves you, tune into your own HEART space, align with nurturing and supporting  energy of the EARTH to stay grounded and balanced; and you'll step out of this practice with new fresh stamina and perspective to create, play, live and love in a more fully.  
BE AWAKE
BE AWARE
BE GROUNDED 
BREATHE DEEPLY

You will need a blanket, a big pillow (possibly 2) and something to cover your eyes. 
I've made two versions of the same session - 
  • one with more postural instructions, so that you are able to set yourself up in the poses correctly (use this, if you are trying this clip for the first time), 
  • one with less talk and instructions, so that you can drop into your own experience of the poses (use this, when you already familiar with the poses) 
These poses can be held a lot longer than I do in the video, so feel free to hit PAUSE and stay as long as you want. 
Remember, it's a practice to unplug, restore, relax and recharge! ​

Restorative yoga with INSTRUCTIONS

Restorative yoga - less talk

A restorative practice means minimum effort on your part with the maximum benefit for the body and mind. Using props and support, so that you can stay in poses for longer without any strain or effort, totally surrendering to gravity and letting everything drop. It's hitting a "pause" button to breathe more deeply, while the restorative yoga poses (asanas) gently open the body in a unrushed and gentle manner, helping us to learn to relax and rest deeply and completely. During this kind of deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body are benefited, the mind slows down, the breathing finds it's natural rhythm.
