Get creative with restorative yoga props

More than ever, we need to monitor our level of stress in order to maintain resiliency during our current confinement. Restorative Yoga is the perfect antidote to stress. For those of you who may not have traditional yoga props at home, here is a list of items that can easily be used in replacement of yoga bolsters and blocks.

• 2 pillows (the type you use for sleeping)
• 1 thick cotton blanket 
• 1 large towel (such as a beach towel)
• 1 chair, or any surface you can rest your legs on (couches are great for that!)
• An extra yoga mat (rolled, up, covered with a blanket, it acts as a bolster)

​If you have a couple of smaller pillows, grab them as well. The more support you have accessible around your mat during a restorative yoga session, the better. Muscular tensions are released quicker and eventually, our nervous system is soothed back to a healthy state, leaving us with an overall sense of calm. 

I personally offer a weekly Restorative Yoga class on Sundays, at 10:00am EST. If you register and can't join us on that day, no worries! You will receive a recording of the class which will be accessible to you for 7 days. DETAILS & REGISTRATION
