Relax Deeply

By Ally Hamilton on May 21, 2019

Restorative Intermediate

Perfect for the end of a tough day, times when you're feeling depleted and/or stressed out, end of a travel day, nights when you struggle with insomnia, or paired with a shorter vigorous flow (we filmed this after Rise, Shine, Energize). Sometimes we walk around as if we're supposed to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders or store tons of stuff in our hips, but it's always good to get that tension out of your body! Lots of attention given to the shoulders and hips. Enjoy x(Props are nice if you have them, but you can make this work with a firm couch pillow, a stack of books and a tie or long belt from a robe :))

Low Back Restoratives

By Leslie Kazadi on Sep 17, 2015

Restorative Intermediate

Does your low back need a little TLC? This restorative practice has all of my favorite poses to unwind tension and relax the low back. The wall and props will give you stability and the gentle movements will release stress. If you haven't used 2 straps at a wall for a hamstring stretch, you are gonna love this version that has you feeling completely at ease with no effort! Relax and enjoy!

Bear Restoratives

By Leslie Kazadi on Nov 30, 2014

Restorative Intermediate

Invite your inner child to come and play! The only thing sweeter than restorative yoga is adding teddy bears for props. It will bring joy to your heart that you can then share with the world. If you don't have any teddy bears lying around, you can do the practice with blankets and bolsters. I hope this inspires you to make merry and have a happy holiday season!
