When was the last time you gave yourself permission to truly rest? In today’s fast-paced world, we’re all about go, go, go—but at ZaaS (Zen as a Service), we know that true wellness begins with slowing down. That’s where Restorative Yoga comes in—a gentle, soothing yoga class designed for relaxation. Melt away stress and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

What Is Restorative Yoga?

Restorative Yoga focuses on deep relaxation through simple, supported poses held for extended periods. Unlike traditional yoga, this isn’t about building strength or flexibility—it’s about giving your mind and body the space to rest, recover, and reconnect.

The Science of Restorative Yoga

Studies show that restorative practices:

  1. Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone).
  2. Improve heart rate variability, a key indicator of stress resilience.
  3. Boost parasympathetic nervous system activity, promoting relaxation and healing.
