Welcome to Yoga Bradford online!
Restorative yoga is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. In this style of yoga, you will hardly move at all, doing just a few postures in the course of an hour. It is a completely different experience than most contemporary yoga. The postures are designed to restore health and vitality and can be so restful you will feel like you have had a sleep. Your only focus in the class is to really let go, be present and focus on the breath.
