My Story With Restorative Yoga

Having battled chronic illnesses myself, my adrenals are always taxed. With such an adventurous heart, I’d be the last person to want to do restorative yoga. But then I got so sick I could barely leave my house. During this time, I craved movement, any movement. But all movement usually left me symptomatic and worse. It was then I discovered restorative yoga.

I learned that the methodical processes of yoga for adrenal fatigue with restorative yoga postures really helped bring energy and prana (life force) to areas of my body that may have been cut off from my new sedentary lifestyle. My body didn’t need just any movement, it needed specific movement, opening up areas of my body that had been shut off. This is exactly what restorative yoga will do for adrenal fatigue.

You may be surprised to find that after this class you might have more energy or be able to sleep a lot better. While I wish I was a scientist to explain to you why this works, I cannot. However, I can share that from my personal experience, restorative yoga will change how you rest and how you view yoga.

What You'll Need Yoga Bolster & Blocks

While I love this notion to make yoga accessible for everyone, restorative yoga is really best done with a yoga bolster and at least two yoga blocks.

If you don’t have either of these tools at your disposal, practicing the postures on the edge of a couch or chair can work too.

But if you’d like to save this video for later and order your own yoga bolster

I love cork yoga blocks because of how eco friendly they are and they’re less prone to slip or shift during practice.

If you don’t have a bolster, you can use an edge of a couch or chair, but a bolster is going to be vital if you find restorative yoga beneficial for your body fighting adrenal fatigue. Scroll down to the pose and I’ll share below how you can modify with what you do have.

  • Supported Reclined Corpse
    • If you don’t have a bolster, you can place one or two pillows under your spine and neck. The key is to be able to let your heart space open up.
  • Supported Side Angle
    • You can replace bolsters and blocks with pillows here.
  • Supported Bound Angle
    • You can grab a chair and place a pillow on it. Place your stacked pillow (folded in half so it’s thicker) under your head to support yourself and wrap your legs in your bound angle around your chair legs.
