Restorative Yoga in Downtown
Restorative yoga, also known as recovery yoga, is centered around the concept of slowing down and aiding the body in its recovery through passive, meaningful stretching. Poses are held for long durations, allowing your muscles to relax; tight connective tissues are targeted while your mind rests and resets in a meditative state.
SAN DIEGO RESTORATIVE YOGA CLASSES
Restorative yoga classes at Yoga Box begin with up to five minutes of meditation to draw the mind into your practice. Following are 50-55 minutes of focused, grounded postures that are held from two-five minutes each. The ultimate goal is complete physical, emotional, and mental relaxation, and props can be used during poses to completely support your body as it restores itself.

OUR SAN DIEGO RESTORATIVE YOGA STUDIOS
