Yoga term of the week: Restorative Yoga

Welcome to our weekly series dedicated to helping you navigate the confusing lingo of yoga. Beginner or not, this ‘yoga dictionary’ will be here every Tuesday to quench your curiosity about a new, bizarre yogi word.

This week’s term:

Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga is just as relaxing as it sounds… it aims to put you into a deep state of relaxation. You’ll hold postures for longer periods of time and may frequently use props like blankets, blocks, and pillows to help you stay in position.

Once you feel like taking your yoga practice and learning beyond the studio (say, to a beach), check out some yoga holidays and retreats and indulge your inner yogini/yogi.

What yoga lingo confuses you? Let us know in the comments below and we’ll feature it in this series! For a full list, head to our yoga dictionary.
