How to Practice Restorative Yoga:
Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Use props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to support your body in each pose. Focus on your breath and allow yourself to fully relax into each position, letting go of any tension or stress.
Take a Moment for Yourself:
Remember, yoga is a personal practice, and it's essential to listen to your body. Take this time to connect with yourself, let go of the outside world, and find peace within. Allow the restorative poses to soothe your body and mind, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
