    This restorative yoga class is perfect for when you are exhausted and tired. Whether you have chronic fatigue syndrome, adrenal fatigue or you are just plain worn out from work, school, and looking after your family, this restorative yoga class is designed to renew your energy. It will allow you to tap into your parasympathetic nervous system and deeply release fatigue.
    In this restorative yoga class we are going to relax without blame, judgment or self-criticism. We are going to offer ourselves kindness and connect with our exhaustion by offering ourselves rest in a compassionate way.
    Each posture in this restorative yoga sequence will be held for 10 minutes. The long holds in the restorative poses purposefully take time to renew your energy reserves. This class is designed to give you the deep rest you need so that you can experience a restoration of your vitality and a rejuvenation of your energy reserves.
    Restorative Yoga Sequence:
    Legs Up the Wall, Restorative Locust Pose, Restorative Shoulder Stand, Restorative Child´s Pose, Savasana
    Props Needed:
    Yoga Mat, 2 blankets, Bolster, Meditation Cushion, 2 blocks, Yoga Strap, Eye Pillow

    I was so overwhelmed this morning by someone who triggered me by patronising and judging me. I was so hurt I became exhausted mentally and emotionally. I remembered Melissa West does great restorative sequences and came straight here. This yoga made me feel rested and self-loving again. It also allowed me to release some anger and tears on the mat! Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏💚

Came home and instead of crashing on my bed, decided to check if you have anything on 'tired' and found this video! Thank you! Just perfect. I am feeling better after doing this! Really liked the idea of allowing myself to feel exhausted instead of resisting it! Thank you :) I am deeply rested!

    Hi Melissa, I recently just moved to Vancouver Island, so it is very exciting for me to see some of the filming locations close by! I hope one day I can meet you in person. I discovered you this summer during a period of deep unhappiness and depression caused by a highly stressful work environment. Your videos greatly helped me to get past the major low I was experiencing. Not only did my sleep quality vastly improve, but so did my mental health. Every time I watch one of your videos, I find I am able to TRULY relax. Before you, I hadn't done too many restorative classes because I always thought that I had to push myself-even on the yoga mat. After watching your videos, I feel I am free of that. I am deeply rested for this evening, and once again, I thank you for another great video. Thanks for putting out full length classes so often.

    • @drmelissawest
      @drmelissawest  2 роки тому +1
