Relax and Renew A General Restorative Yoga Practice: The Antidote to Stress
The antidote to stress is relaxation. To relax is to rest deeply. This is different from sleep. Deep states of sleep include periods of dreaming, which increase muscular tension, as well as other physiological signs of tension. Relaxation is a state in which there is no movement, no effort, and the brain is quiet. Restorative yoga facilitates deep relaxation and helps relieve the effects of chronic stress in several ways: props provide a completely supportive environment, the spine is moved in all directions, inverted poses reverse the effects of gravity (dramatically altering hormone levels thus reducing brain arousal, blood pressure and fluid retention), stimulates and soothes the organs and balances energy so the practitioner is neither overstimulated nor depleted. This series of restorative poses is designed to create balance and re-set your nervous system.
