Practice Point #5 - Restorative

Today I want to answer Tracy's from Tanzania question.

My question then, is regarding doing a 'restorative' practice ... do you recommend this be done only when you feel the body needs to, or should yogi's be getting into good habits of 'balance', and doing restorative work at least once a week?

PRACTICE POINT #5

Don't wait till you are exhausted and run down before you practice restoratives, by including them in your daily/weekly practice you will hopefully avoid burnout.

I would recommend either including a restorative into your daily practice or dedicating an entire practice to doing restorative poses.

I do both. I try to include a restorative at the end of every practice, however, because of time and distractions this doesn't always work out and I don't hold for a long as I would like to fully recover.

This is why I like to dedicate an entire practice once a week to restorative only.

If you would like to submit a question about home practice and receive the answer in these weekly Practice Points, you can below. Question-related to specific injuries will not be answered.
