Course Special #1: The Art of Restorative Yoga

Revitalize and Rebalance

“Restorative yoga has been helpful for my patients with diverse conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, high blood pressure, asthma, migraine and tension headaches, stress-related diseases, chronic fatigue, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer."

- Mary Pullig Schatz, MD

The Art of Practicing & Teaching Restorative Yoga

We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative Yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely.

During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body benefit. The measurable results of deep relaxation include more balanced blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, as well as improved digestion and elimination, reduced muscle tension, insomnia and generalized fatigue.

In this online course, Judith Hanson Lasater will introduce you to the experience of Restorative Yoga and some of the basic teaching principles for this important practice. The key to the healing benefits of a restorative practice are the supported poses and breathing practices, which help reset body and mind and heal the effects of chronic stress.
