From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
Even if you have a passion for pulse-raising, flowing yoga styles, varying your practice with an occasional restorative session is a nice way to relax and recharge. If you've never tried restorative, read on to find out all about it.

Restorative Yoga
In restorative yoga, props are used for support the body so that you can hold poses for longer, allowing you to open your body through passive stretching. Restorative postures are usually adapted from supine or seated yoga poses with the addition of blocks, bolsters, and blankets to eliminate unnecessary straining.

Pose of the Week - Legs Up the Wall - Viparita Karani
Legs up the wall is a great restorative yoga pose that makes the benefits of an inversion possible for those who can't fully invert. (Hint: It's a good one if you want to avoid inverting while menstruating.) It's also a great rejuvenator for anyone that spends a lot of time on their feet at work.

Should You Avoid Inversions During Your Period?
Opinions vary on how women should modify their yoga practices during menstruation.
