Ready to Teach or Retreat More Deeply with Restorative Yoga?

Namaste,

Restorative Yoga is very "Advanced Yoga".

Restorative yoga is an incredibly powerful and potent practice, helping us to recognize and release unnecessarily habitual stress and tension in our body and mind. It also provides an environment where we can truly learn to rest - and rest is a prerequisite for health and healing. 

In Restorative yoga we learn how to allow ourselves to slow down, be supported, pay attention, grow present, and release into stillness. We learn how to practice “being” rather than our usual “doing.”  And when we allow ourselves to land and truly relax, we create conditions for our minds to calm and our bodies to heal. We soothe our over stimulated sympathetic nervous system and find relief from the stress of our busy lives. This allows us to replenish and restore - so that we actually gain energy to bring back into our daily lives.

The profound effect that restorative and therapeutic yoga has on my students (and myself!), fuels my passion and dedication to continue sharing it and for helping teachers further experience and develop skills in offering the practice.  Below you will find the remaining training dates for 2018. These trainings are geared towards Yoga Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Therapists of all kinds, Care Takers, Mindbody Fitness Experts, and even those just interested in their own healing.

Restorative Yoga is the ultimate training ground to learn the skills needed to rest deeply and release unnecessarily habitual stress and tension. Learn how to take your practice deeper with either a destination retreat, a teacher training or even an online course!
