A restorative practice is accessible to all. Benefits of each position are explained at the start of long holds. Once the thinking mind has integrated this, you are left to observe the flow of your thoughts, as your mind detoxes itself.
This mental purge and relaxation is aided through an awareness of breath, connection to body and the sharing of Sanskrit mantras and age old prayers.

With the support of the sling, forward hanging poses like this are held for much longer. The spine flows from the pelvis increasing with each exhalation, decompressing vertebra and rehydrating the discs between them.
