Restorative Yoga With One Bolster - 5 Relaxing Poses

[@carenhope]

Did you like this restorative yoga class using just one yoga prop? Let me know if you want to see more classes like this. 🙏🏻

[@blip]

yes, please! i just bought your book after following along with this class. i felt wholly invited to a surprisingly moving experience, and your words and movements deepened my understanding of what it means to be present, mindful, and welcoming. my body and mind and soul felt cleansed afterwards. i even cried a bit at the end when you mentioned honoring the “realized beings” that brought us this practice. this was my very first restorative yoga experience. from the bottom of my heart: thank you 🙏

[@carenhope]

@@blip I'm honored and touched that your first restorative yoga class was with me. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful details from your practice, and I hope you continue to receive its gifts. 🙏

[@terrieisanaudioslave]

This was lovely. No time or energy to pull it all out. Perfect restorative sequence. Thank you so much. I have suffered with breast cancer and you have helped me immensely. Never got to thank you before. Best!

[@carenhope]

I'm honored to be a part of your process, Terrie. You're welcome and wishing you the best. 🙏🏻

You gave me the space I needed after dealing with a family emergency. The tears needed to flow. Thank you Caren for being there.

[@carenhope]

I'm humbled and honored to have held this space for you. Sending best wishes to you and your family. 🙏🏻

[@ayaaly2866]

I'm so relaxed and at peace now at the end of this gentle flow thank you ❤️

[@carenhope]

I'm honored to be a part of that. Wishing you continued peace.

[@creative1able]

Yes! Thank you so much. I've exhausted , needing refuge. I had to use an extra pillow under the bolster for the poses on the front of the body. I fell asleep in the last frog pose. I feel better!

[@carenhope]

Sounds like you supported yourself so well with the props, which is always the goal for restorative asana. 👏🏻

[@isabellarusso2370]

I love your work, Karen especially with props. Namaste 🙏

[@carenhope]

This was my first practice with you and it was perfection. Love the pace and explanation. Just the right about of silence. I’m excited to explore your channel before bed each night! Namaste.

Welcome! Honored to share this practice with you and many more to come. Thanks for your kind words. 🙏🏻

[@annettenelson8316]

Thank you again Caren for another beautiful practice. Lots came up for me during the supported half frog. It was quite curious. A practice I hope to return to again.

[@carenhope]

👋🏻 May the restorative practice bring you peace. 🙏🏻

Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@carenhope]

Nice to hear. Thanks for joining me for this practice!

[@Mommay01]

Thank you! Your class was perfect.

[@carenhope]

That’s lovely to hear you enjoyed the restorative practice so much! Thank you for being here and hope to relax again sometime soon. 🙏🏻

[@meleakua]

Thank you so much for this lovely practice! I was definitely able to relax a little more readily without having to fiddle with a bunch of props (I've read the beginning of your book & am still working on figuring out blanket folds😆) & this was just what I was needing today. ✨🙏🏼✨

[@carenhope]

How great to hear! The blanket folding gets easier over time. 😆

[@meleakua]

@@carenhope I guess that's probably like most things. 😆 I'm glad to hear that!

[@katherinespargo5604]

This was great Caren. Especially in these times where access to various props is not always achievable. Thanks so much. Kat

[@carenhope]

Love to hear that. 🙏🏻

[@mariaeffisimo2228]

Great practice.!! Can you please let me know the name of your book. Thankyou.

[@carenhope]

It's called Restorative Yoga: Relax. Restore. Re-energize. Link is in the description!

[@saskiaberkhout1779]

Thank you so much 😊

[@carenhope]

Nice practicing with you. 🙏🏻

[@jeanneaddis4975]

Hi, I am looking to get into yoga. How often should one practice yoga to get all the benefits?

[@carenhope]

This is a "depends" question on what benefits you're seeking in particular and what specific yoga practice you'd like to focus on.

[@jacobsamra4950]

Nice Class I Hope You Do Yoga Class For Big and Tall Guys Namaste 🙏🏻

[@richvg1245]

Thank you so much Caren for this lovely practice! I find myself coming back to it a couple times a week as I’m dealing with Long Covid. I would really appreciate it if you could answer one question for me: whenever I’m in child’s pose for some time I feel my feet starting to tingle. Does this indicate I should maybe add more props or is that normal? I can rest my bum on my feet and my belly on the bolster comfortably without feeling any strain in my muscles.

[@carenhope]

I’m glad this is helpful for you! Tingling is a normal response to blood flow restriction in the feet from the ankle position in Supported Child’s Pose. Try rolling a blanket and resting both ankles on top of that instead. There’s an illustration of this in my book.

[@MaryLyon-g2w]

Love your style and voice…..could use some yoga music….my mind wanders too much without it!

[@carenhope]

It’s normal for the mind to wander. Getting used to silence is part of the practice of yoga. ☺️

[@KevinFrench-f7j]

Obrigado:)

[@aqilali517]

I love you thinks 😍
