Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
March 7 - May 3, 2026
Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
Restorative Yoga is a form of yoga that focuses on deep relaxation and rejuvenation. It involves remaining in postures for extended periods with the support of props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to create comfort and ease. The intention is to invite opening and spaciousness in the physical body, bring balance and harmony to the energetic (subtle) body, and to pacify the nervous system.
The benefits of Restorative Yoga include stress reduction, improved sleep, increased flexibility, improved circulation, and support for health, healing, and holistic wellbeing.
All levels of yoga practitioners can benefit from Restorative Yoga, including beginners and those who enjoy a strong, vigorous asana practice.
