Restorative yoga: Its practice, benefits, and background
Restorative yoga was developed relatively recently (through the 1970s) as a helpful, therapeutic, and much needed counter-balance to the fast pace, stress, and busyness of modern living. Restorative yoga offers the opportunity for deep stillness and comfort in the body, and tools to bring the mind into a complementary healing state of quietude.
Lunar Illuminations #1, the importance of cyclical living
Our philosophy at Yoga Luna revolves around the idea that we are all cyclical beings. This means that our bodies (and minds, and every layer of us) are subject to the ever-changing influences of life as it moves in cyclical rhythms. These cycles include the very small cycles of the heartbeat and breath to the large cycles of the seasons we move through every year. The amazing thing about these cycles is that they all follow a similar pattern, and so each can provide us with a “map” of the others.
