Attention people! Whether you are experiencing a stressful day or an injury, restorative yoga may just be the thing for you, especially for mental health.

In fact, if you're recovering from surgery, it may be one of the only forms of exercise that is safe and effective as it can help in fostering a mind-body connection.Restorative yoga is much gentler, encouraging the use of props like pillows and blankets to facilitate relaxation as the "rest and restore" stimulates the body's processes for restoration and recovery, such as digestion, sleep and tissue repair.Although these gentle exercises are safe for most people, if you're rehabbing from surgery or an injury, check with your doctor for approval, reports CNN.Here are the set of excersices that you can practice with 10 or more long, deep breaths.Diaphragmatic breathing with mantra meditation

Diaphragmatic breathing is most efficient and effective ally in the recovery process.It takes only 90 seconds of deep breathing to begin decreasing your heart rate and blood pressure and stimulating aspects of your nervous, endocrine and circulatory systems that promote relaxation and restoration.To establish diaphragmatic breathing, focus your attention on the lowest lobes of your lungs and the corresponding lower-rib movement. When you inhale deeply, your lower ribs externally rotate, expanding outward. When you exhale completely, your lower ribs internally rotate, moving in and down.Once you've established a long, deep breath, begin repeating a mantra to coincide with each inhalation and exhalation.
