Our "Lazy Yoga" sessions use supported, long-held poses to gently stretch your body and calm your nervous system, making it the perfect way to end a stressful day.

"Lazy Yoga" is our affectionate term for a restorative, yin-style yoga practice. Unlike active yoga styles that build heat and strength, the goal here is the exact opposite: to achieve complete relaxation. In these routines, you'll hold gentle, passive stretches for longer periods—typically 2-5 minutes per pose. The practice is done almost entirely on the floor and often uses props like pillows and blankets to fully support your body, allowing your muscles to completely let go.
This style of practice is incredibly beneficial for calming a stressed nervous system. It helps to lower cortisol, reduce anxiety, and prepare your body for deep, restorative sleep. By holding gentle stretches for an extended time, you also target the deep connective tissues (fascia) in your body, which can release long-held tension and improve flexibility in a way that active stretching cannot.
The Reverse Health Lazy Yoga program is your perfect antidote to the demands of modern life. We offer a collection of guided routines that you can access anytime you need to de-stress and unwind. These sessions require minimal effort and are the ultimate form of self-care. They are perfect for an evening routine to promote better sleep, or anytime you feel overwhelmed and need to find a moment of peace.
Within the RH app, our expert instructors guide you through each supported pose with a calm, soothing voice, helping you to release physical and mental tension. This practice is a key component of our holistic approach to wellness.
