Restorative Yoga focuses on deep rest, relaxation, and gentle release through long-held supported postures. It invites the body into stillness and helps restore physical and mental balance.
Therapeutic Restorative Yoga, on the other hand, goes a step further. It is a science-based, trauma-informed approachthat integrates:
- Anatomy and physiology
- Neuroscience and polyvagal theory
- Fascia and mind–body research
- Yogic philosophy and mindfulness
Each pose is carefully adapted to the individual’s physical, emotional, and energetic needs, providing not just relaxation but true nervous system regulation and healing.
In short:
- Restorative Yoga → relaxation and balance
Therapeutic Restorative Yoga → relaxation as a path to healing, regulation, and transformation
