Due to a sedentary lifestyle and elevated levels of stress people suffer more and more physical and psychological problems. 

With the practice of Restorative alignment the focus is on achieving proper body positioning and support to promote relaxation and healing. It involves using props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks allowing muscles to relax deeply without strain. 

It also involves the use of supportive tools, such as the BackMitra®, helping to relax the superficial muscles of the back and lower part of the body, preparing them for sequences that will give them greater mobility and strength.

It involves gentle poses and stretches that are held for longer periods, allowing the body to relax and release tension. The Props are used to support the body in passive poses, making it accessible for people of all fitness levels.

This is a form of yoga practice that utilizes a tool called a "back mitra" to release tension and promote spinal alignment. The Back Mitra is a foam prop with ridges designed to target specific areas of the spine. In a back mitra yoga practice, practitioners lie on the back mitra in various positions to gently stretch and massage the spine, shoulders, and hips. This practice is intended to improve posture, increase flexibility, and alleviate back pain. It can be suitable for individuals of all levels, including those recovering from injuries or seeking relief from chronic discomfort.

This style of yoga can be described as gentle and therapeutic, focusing on releasing tension along the spine.
