When did you start taking classes with PYLV?
I started taking the restorative yoga classes on and off with PYLV about 4 years ago when we started our journey to start a family. I have now been consistently taking prenatal yoga classes with PYLV since December, when I was just starting my second trimester of pregnancy.
Why You Need Restorative Yoga: A Guide for New Yoga Practitioners
Restorative yoga is a deeply nourishing and therapeutic practice that was developed by Judith Hanson Lasater, renowned yoga teacher, physical therapist and P.h.d., during a challenging period in her life. This practice is accessible for all stages of life, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Unlike more active forms of yoga, Restorative yoga focuses on long-held, supported poses using props like bolsters, pillows, blankets, blocks, straps, sandbags, and eye pillows. Poses are typically held for 5-20 minutes, allowing your body and mind to fully relax and absorb the benefits.
