Yin Yoga & Restorative Yoga
Yin yoga and restorative yoga are practices that invite you to slow down, create space for recovery and support the body in longer, restful positions. Here you will find yoga mats and props carefully selected for gentle yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, breathwork and other restorative practices where comfort, warmth and support make a meaningful difference.
Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, yin yoga and restorative yoga involve holding positions for longer periods of time. For this reason, many practitioners choose a softer and more supportive yoga mat that helps the body relax and settle more deeply into the practice.
