In this episode of From Pain To Possibility, I explore why restorative yoga often leaves people feeling anything but restored. It's not about props or perfect alignment—it's about creating a state where your nervous system feels safe enough to truly settle. I share insights from my experience teaching restorative components in the Therapeutic Yoga Intensive, showing how breath, awareness, and subtle movement can turn any pose into a restorative experience.

You'll learn how to recognize when your body is truly resting versus just enduring a pose, and how to bring a tone of rest into both stillness and movement. I also explain how cultivating awareness and listening to your body can recalibrate tension, support healing, and make restorative yoga deeply therapeutic.
