Our modern world often feels like a ‘rat-race’. Technology that promised to make our life easier and to allow us more free time, only makes us work harder and harder. True, we have a high standard of living, but how much do we enjoy it? Many people work so many hours that they hardly find time to be in nature or even spend leisure time with their families. We forgot how to stop and relax!

Collapsing on a sofa in front of the TV is not a rest. When the mind is not quiet, the body can’t relax completely. Yoga postures, done with props, create space in the body and relax the mind. Staying for an extended period of time in a supported inverted asana refreshes the mind and the body. A long stay in a supported backend opens the chest, improves the circulation and the breath, and charges us with vital energy. Even a 10-minute stay in a pose like Viparita Karani after a long day of work can completely alter your state of mind and body!
This course contains two restorative sequences for deep relaxation taught by Eyal Shifroni. Each sequence is about 2 hours long and builds your capacity for long stays in poses using props.

This course contains two restorative sequences. Each sequence is about 2 hours long. You will learn how to use props for long stays in asanas and for deep relaxation. Upon completing the course you’ll be able to use this knowledge to restore when you are exhausted mentally or physically.
