It is a slower- paced type of yoga with sequences containing only a small number of asanas (postures) held for longer periods of time. Props are used in order to support the body in positions of comfort to encourage deep relaxation . This support encourages a deep letting go, which in turn cultivates a sense of mental and physical calm, allowing the body to truly rest and repair.
