"In Restorative Yoga, there's many benefits. Not only, we could distress and center yourself more and be able to face your day, you sleep better and things like that. A great way to find a relaxation is think of several parts of your body. For example, to relax your jaw and these are things to think about as we go to the serious postures later on. Relax the jaw, just swallow a few times and let the jaw hang open. At the same time as you start to relax, your cheeks will feel hollow, allow them to feel hollow, jaw's slightly open. Focus on the breath and just let yourself melt into the floor. And these are good indicators to figure out where you are tension-wise. You want your hands to relax, so you don't want to keep them out too far, you want to have them just nice and relax on the floor as you lay down in these postures that I'm about to show you. And when you close the eyes, let the eyelids be heavy, let the bottom lid meet the upper lid and let the eyes roll back in the head and find that nice peaceful tranquil feeling of being relax. Many people are concern, "I can't relax, I can't relax". If you focus on trying to find relaxation, you will be frustrated. But if you focus on concentrating on individual body parts, it will help as a whole body relaxation."
