Frequently asked questions

Is restorative yoga like yin yoga

No. Yin yoga targets deep connective tissues with gentle stretching..Restorative yoga aims for 100% physical comfort with no stretching sensation at all.

Will I fall asleep

If you do that is OK & the teacher will gently wake you when needed. The ideal state is "conscious relaxation," where you remain awake but deeply calm.

Can it be good for beginners

Yes. It requires no flexibility, strength, or prior yoga experience. & maybe a good practice to manage stress and fatigue.
