The purpose of Restorative Yoga is to allow the release
of any tension existing in the body with the help of props and longer holding
of poses. While other types of yoga, such as Ashtanga, are more centered around
heat building sequences, restorative aims to replenish the mind and body
through slow and simple postures. The holding of the poses typically last
longer than a normal pose in a vinyasa based class, lasting around 5 minutes.
