Deep Restoration: Yin & Restorative Yoga Classes
Slowing down is a practice in itself. In my restorative and Yin sessions, we use props to support the body, quiet the nervous system, and find true stillness. Join me to pause, breathe, and let go.
This is the heart of Yin Yoga. We use props like bolsters to support the body in gentle poses, allowing us to release deeply and connect our mind and body to our breath.
Balasana, or Child's Pose, is one of my favorite poses for rest. It gently stretches the spine, calms the mind, and allows us to turn inward and let go.
This weekend, move into a deep state of rest. This photo, taken from my perspective in Savasana, shows my students completely relaxed. This simple pose is powerful for recharging the nervous system.
Happy Easter. A moment of quiet reflection in a supported forward bend, using blocks and a bolster. Restorative yoga helps us find hope, joy, and gratitude in our lives.
Sunday vibes in the studio. This video shows students in a supported child's pose and other gentle forward bends, using bolsters and chairs to help them release and relax.
Reach your edge within the pose. In Yin yoga, we find a gentle stretch and then we soften, as seen here with students in a supported forward fold. It's about flexibility of the mind as much as the body.
We create our future with the thoughts we have today. This gentle flow from child's pose to a squat is a reminder to move with intention and mindfulness.
About this collection
I often say that props are our best friends in this practice. Whether it is a bolster to support your spine in a forward fold or wall ropes to safely deepen a stretch, these tools allow your muscles to fully release without strain. You do not need to be flexible to start; you just need to be willing to settle into the pose and let the support do the work for you.
Yin and Restorative yoga is not about how deep you can go into a pose, but how long you can stay comfortably. In my studio in Hauz Khas, we treat these sessions as a dedicated space for nervous system regulation. When you hold a pose for three to five minutes, you move past the initial resistance of the muscles and begin to target the deep connective tissues and fascia.
This practice acts as an antidote to the fast pace of city life. We use bolsters, wooden blocks, and chairs to ensure that your body feels completely supported, which sends a signal to your brain that it is safe to switch from a fight or flight mode into a state of rest and digest. You might find yourself drifting into a light meditation or simply enjoying the quiet of the room.
My approach is grounded in safe alignment, so I am always right there to guide you on how to adjust your props for your specific body needs. Whether you are dealing with chronic lower back tightness or just need a break from a hectic week, these sessions provide the space you need to reset. It is a gentle journey, one that encourages you to stop striving and start surrendering. If you are looking for a place in Delhi to practice with patience and kindness, I would love to have you join our circle.
