Hatha yoga focuses on the practice of asanas (yoga postures) while being aware of breathing at all times. The rhythm of motion and breath allows the instructor to place special emphasis on construction and alignment technique
Restorative Yoga uses props such as blocks, blankets, straps and bolsters to support the body in poses that open as we relax or rest in the pose. This allows gravity to do the work for us.
