Child's pose with a twist, threading the arm across your body, adds a delicious release to the upper back, neck and shoulders. Allow your head to be supported so that the back of the neck is long and the weight of the head adds to the release in the spine.

Final rest is one of the essential poses of yoga. After setting up your props and snuggling under a blanket, covering your eyes and releasing your attention inward, allow this pose and this time to completely let go of movement, body and breath... and know that you are the awareness behind them.

Constructive rest - and isn't ALL rest constructive?! - is a simple pose that allows the spine to settle and the inner thighs and groins to release. This position allows your attention to rest on your breath and the gentle, fluid movements that are always pulsing inside of you.

Cross bolsters is a yummy pose when you are on your cycle or any time you need to make space in your lower belly. Raise the floor up with support underneath your feet to create length in tender low backs. Stretch out, open up and dissolve your tension with this exquisitely expansive pose!

Soft reclining bound angle is so gentle and supported that it's perfect for savasana! Tuck yourself in, prop yourself up and feel the gentle opening in your hips and feel the soft rhythm of your breath as a lullaby inviting you to be open and let go.

Reclining bound angle may be the universal favorite restorative yoga pose for men and women! Also nicknamed goddess pose, it opens the heart and pelvis and is the go-to pose for pregnant women and "ladies on holiday" alike. When well supported, you can luxuriate in those pose for 20 minutes or longer! Let yourself be so supported that you can re-cognize the beauty of who you are!
