Restorative yoga is a practice that aims to deeply relax the body and mind through gentle, supported poses held for extended periods. It focuses on activating the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the "rest and digest" response, to promote physical and mental well-being.

Just like a traditional yoga practice, chair yoga increases flexibility, strength, and body awareness. When standing poses are incorporated, the chair serves as a support to enhance stability and improve balance. Chair yoga classes may also include pranayama (breathwork) and meditation to promote focus, mental clarity, and relaxation.
