Flow Through Mindful Yoga Poses + Restorative Practice

Welcome to a journey of relaxation, rejuvenation, and mindfulness through a blend of flowing yoga poses and restorative practices. In this session, we will combine the energizing movements of a flow sequence with the soothing stillness of restorative postures to create a harmonious balance for your body and mind.

The Flow Sequence

Let's start by awakening the body with a gentle flow sequence. Begin in a comfortable standing position at the top of your mat. Inhale as you reach your arms overhead, exhale as you fold forward into a forward bend. Move through a series of poses such as downward dog, plank, and cobra, linking your breath with movement.

Benefits of Flow Yoga:

• Builds strength and flexibility
• Increases circulation and energy flow
• Focuses the mind and calms the nervous system

Restorative Practice

After the invigorating flow sequence, it's time to transition into a restorative practice. Grab a bolster, blanket, or pillows to support your body in gentle, relaxing postures. Sink into poses like supported child's pose, reclining bound angle pose, and legs-up-the-wall pose.

Benefits of Restorative Yoga:

• Promotes deep relaxation and stress relief
• Enhances flexibility and joint mobility
• Supports the body's natural healing processes

Bringing It All Together

As you move through the flow sequence and settle into restorative postures, focus on the sensations in your body and the rhythm of your breath. Allow yourself to let go of any tension or distractions, and simply be present in the moment. Embrace this opportunity to connect with yourself on a deeper level and nurture your well-being.

Remember, the beauty of yoga lies in its adaptability to suit your unique needs and preferences. Feel free to modify any poses or take breaks as needed. Listen to your body and honor its wisdom as you flow through mindful yoga poses and restorative practice.

Let this practice be a sanctuary for you to unwind, recharge, and find peace within.
