The key feature of this practice is the use of 'yoga props' such as bolsters, blankets, straps and chairs to fully support the student. The session features less poses than a general class and encourages longer, quieter holds. Deep relaxation can replenish the body and mind, enhance sleep, bring greater clarity and focus, release muscle tension and balance the nervous system. Iyengar restorative classes are beneficial for all, but can be particularly effective for anyone feeling tired, stressed, or recovering from illness or injury
