Hi friends,

Stress makes us sad and sick, so I banish it through meditation and yoga. Try a little restorative yoga to relax!

Stressed out? Relax and recharge with a little restorative yoga.

We love us some sweaty power yoga, but sometimes it's nice to de-stress with a restorative session or two. Believe it or not, relaxation is a skill you can learn and get better at. And if you're super type A, it's worth taking a class in the art of consciously calming down. Restorative yoga classes are a yummy indulgence, featuring plenty of props to help you loosen up and a chilled out pace so you can really unwind.

Can't make it to a class? Open up at home with these poses.

Supported Bound Angle: Roll up 2 or 3 blankets. Lie face up on your makeshift bolster so that it supports your spine and head, but let your hips hang off. Relax your arms and bend your knees, allowing the soles of your feet to touch.

Supported Bridge: Lie down with your legs extended and place the blanket roll under your waist. Let your back, shoulders and arms melt into the floor.

Supported Legs up the Wall: Swing your legs up the wall and lay your lower back across the blanket roll, letting your shoulders relax.
