RESTORATIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
December 10–14, 2026
🌸 The gentle, still nature of restorative poses gives us the time and space to observe how we manage stress in both body and mind. Through this practice, we learn to release accumulated tension, connect with a deeper sense of stillness, and experience quiet contemplation in a state of inner connection. Restorative Yoga is known for its profound benefits in calming the nervous system and activating the body's deep relaxation response.
🌸 This practical Restorative Yoga Teacher Training provides the foundational knowledge and skills needed to teach Restorative Yoga safely and effectively. Participants will learn how to work with students of all ages and abilities, and how to guide restorative poses that support physical healing and mental relaxation.
🌸 Through the use of props, breathing practices, and meditation techniques, Restorative Yoga poses support the body's natural mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis and reducing stress. You will learn how to provide individualized support that respects each student's limitations and health conditions.
