Truly, I misunderstood this yoga the most. Only putting stock in restorative yoga if I was rundown, convalescing, or really sore. The reality is...it is good anytime and is a major rejuvenating time.
Legs up the wall...MMMM! It is such a life saver when you are spent. 5 min. is equivalent to an hour of sleep...seriously, but it also feels good anytime. Feeling the arteries of the legs having to pump against gravity creates a special connection for me as I 'zone in' and experience sensations I normally block out and most certainly take for granted.
Bodhiyin yoga is based on supported poses that allow you to release in positions that you can not do on your own. Draping over bolsters to open hearts, backs, feet and heads allows you to let go and feel some divine stretches. Gently approaching edges with time to ponder produces a fruitful field for meditation and it is often deeper than savasana after a flow.
Truly, a crossed flat bolster over a round one and stretches that I get to experience on them are next to godliness.
Thank you, Bodhiyin!
