Restorative yoga depends on holding gentle poses far longer than an active flow, which means the hardest part is often just knowing when to move on without checking a clock every thirty seconds.
The countdown and chime handle timing, so you can close your eyes and actually rest in the pose.
Each pose includes a short setup cue, useful if you're still learning how to prop and support your body.
Save a named sequence once and reload it in one click for every future practice.
Restorative yoga is deliberately slow: poses are typically supported with props like bolsters, blankets or a wall, and held for two to five minutes or longer, which is long enough for the nervous system to shift out of an alert state and into a more parasympathetic, rest-and-digest mode. That shift is the entire point of the practice, and it's also why timing matters more here than in a faster style of yoga. Checking a phone or clock to see how much longer to hold a pose pulls attention back into an alert, task-focused state, working against the relaxation the pose is meant to produce. A dedicated timer with a gentle audio cue solves that by letting you close your eyes completely and trust that you'll be told when to transition. The nine poses in this library were chosen because they cover the main positions used in most restorative sequences: forward folds like Child's Pose and Supported Forward Fold that calm the front body, backbends like Supported Fish that open the chest, gentle twists that mobilize the spine on each side, an inversion in Legs-Up-the-Wall that supports circulation, a hip opener in Reclining Bound Angle, a warm-up flow in Cat-Cow, and Savasana to close. Default hold times are only a starting point; comfort, prop availability and how much time you have should always take priority over any preset number.
Bolsters, folded blankets and pillows make longer holds far more comfortable and sustainable.
Adjust durations to what your body can comfortably sustain, especially when starting out.
A short, regular restorative practice tends to help more than an occasional long one.
