Restorative Yoga Sequence With Blocks

The video begins with an introduction to a restorative yoga sequence using blocks. The first pose is Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose), where blocks are placed under the knees for support, and gentle neck stretches are performed.

The instructor guides through seated cat-cow stretches, opening the chest and rounding the spine. This is followed by seated twists for spinal mobility.

Two variations of Puppy Pose are demonstrated using blocks to support the arms and forehead, focusing on opening the chest and shoulders. A thread-the-needle variation is also included.

Moving to the belly, a gentle prone twist is performed with a block supporting the head, focusing on stretching the chest and deltoids.

A supported bridge pose is introduced, using a block under the sacrum. The instructor then demonstrates a pigeon pose variation for hip opening while in supported bridge.

The sequence moves to Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Butterfly Pose) with blocks under the knees, followed by a heart-opening Fish Pose using a block lengthwise along the spine.

The video offers several variations of Hero's Pose, including sitting upright, using a block for support, or reclining with blocks for a deeper stretch, emphasizing personalization.

Pigeon Pose is demonstrated with blocks used to support the hip and for resting the forehead during a forward fold, promoting hip flexibility and calm.

The sequence progresses to supine twists, where a block supports the knee, followed by Happy Baby Pose for further hip opening.

The practice concludes with Savasana (Corpse Pose), utilizing blocks under the knees for comfort and encouraging deep relaxation and connection with the breath.
