About this Practice
Restorative asanas use props to fully support the body in passive holds of 3–10 minutes. The practice activates the parasympathetic response, making it therapeutic for burnout, adrenal fatigue, and recovery from illness.
Key Benefits
- Zero muscular effort — suitable during illness or high-stress periods
- Each pose held 5–10 min to allow complete fascial release
- Measurably lowers cortisol and heart rate
- Essential component of the 200/300/500-hr teacher training
