Yoga for the Sensitive Soul: Soothing Restorative Practice
Guest Post with Christie Rosen
In order to thrive in our fast-paced, busy world, as HSPs, we need to find time to slow down, rest, and nurture ourselves. Join Christie Rosen in a 45-minute Restorative Yoga practice designed to soothe your sensitive nervous system with extremely comfortable, long-held postures supported by props. Restorative yoga is different from other forms of yoga as the focus is on rest and rejuvenation rather than stretching or strengthening. There are no active poses in this deeply nourishing style of yoga.
This class can be done on a yoga mat, comfortable rug, or in bed. The more comfortable, the better. Please have access to two pillows (I like to use ones from my bed), two blankets, and anything else that would help you feel most comfortable, such as an eye pillow, sweater, socks, or even a weighted blanket.
Join Christie for more HSP Yoga with an exclusive One Month Free Pass to her Yoga for the Sensitive Soul Monthly Membership. Use code SECYOGA at checkout.
Another great way to soothe your sensitive nervous system is with the HSP Toolbox Course – Holistic Tools to Calm a Sensitive Nervous System. Sign up for the Free Master Class – Tools to Help the Sensitive Thrive in a Chaotic World, to learn more.

Some men have expressed frustration about my focus on women’s autism experiences, but this emphasis addresses a longstanding research gap that makes women-centered support essential.
