Hey there, fellow yoga lovers! Are you feeling stressed out and in need of some relaxation for your mind and body? Well, have no fear because I have the perfect solution for you - a restorative yoga sequence!
Restorative Yoga Sequence
This flow is designed to help you relax and unwind after a long day or week. Take your time with each pose and listen to your body. Remember, yoga is not about perfection but rather about the journey and the benefits it can bring to your wellbeing.
Child’s Pose
Begin in Child’s Pose to ground yourself and let go of any tension. Spread your knees wide apart while keeping your big toes touching. Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, ease your hips back towards your heels, extending your arms in front of you. Hold for 5-10 breaths.
Downward Facing Dog
From Child’s Pose, come onto your hands and knees, then lift your hips up and back into Downward Facing Dog. Press firmly into your palms and lengthen through your spine while keeping your heels towards the ground. Take 5-10 breaths here.
Supported Fish Pose
Lie down on your back with a block or a rolled-up towel underneath your shoulder blades. Keep your arms by your sides or extend them overhead. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for 5-10 breaths. This pose is great for opening up your chest and relieving stress and anxiety.
Supported Forward Fold
Sit on a folded blanket or a yoga block, with your legs stretched out in front of you. Slowly fold forward, resting your forehead on a block or bolster. You can also wrap a strap around your feet and gently pull yourself forward. Breathe deeply for 5-10 breaths.
Legs Up the Wall Pose
Lie down on your back with your legs extended up the wall. You can place a yoga block or a bolster underneath your hips for support. Relax your arms by your sides and breathe deeply for 5-10 breaths. This pose can help reduce stress and improve circulation in your legs.
Corpse Pose
Finally, end your practice with Corpse Pose. Lie down on your back with your arms by your sides and your palms facing up. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, then exhale and let go of any tension in your body. Stay here for as long as you’d like.
There you have it, my fellow yogis! A restorative yoga sequence to help you relax and unwind. Remember to take your time with each pose and listen to your body. Namaste!
