YOGA FOR RECOVERY: Under 10 Minutes
The 10-Minute Reset Your Body Craves.
When it comes to your training, recovery time is just as important as putting in that work. Yoga offers an all-inclusive way to calm your nervous system, relieve sore muscles, and help you decompress.
THe Best Types of Yoga for Recovery
Restorative Yoga: Passive holds with props to help you fully relax.
Yin Yoga: Longer holds, targeting deep connective tissue.
Gentle Flow: Light movement to increase circulation without strain on the body.
*all three (Restorative, Yin, and Gentle Flow) include breathwork in some form during practice.
One Pose to Try to Today: Legs Up the Wall
This passive posture helps with circulation, calms the mind, relieves tired legs and and achy feet. Lay flat on your back with your legs extended in the air, or up a wall. Stay there for 5–10 minutes, and breathe deeply. Let the floor do the work.
The Bottom Line
Yoga for recovery is about doing less, and being present, which in-turn becomes relaxation. A few minutes a day, or even a week, can make your workouts more effective and your downtime more restorative.
