Event Description:

This 40-hour training, which will take place over two weekends in March and April, will provide a dynamic balance of theoretical understanding and practical integration.

Restorative Yoga is a powerful healing tool that reduces stress by supporting the body's innate responses towards homeostasis and health. The worldview of Ayurveda will enrich the postures, meanings, indications, benefits, and pedagogy of Restorative Yoga.

This program is welcome to all students, with or without previous yoga teacher training.

In this course, you will learn:
• How to improve your ability to see imbalances in the body more clearly and to use restorative poses as an assessment tool in order to understand how imbalance occurs.
• How to set up 25 postures with available props and verbal cues.
• How to assess support and comfort.
• How to ease agitation.
• How to balance postures for particular therapeutic effects.
• How to explain the organic and emotional benefits of postures.
• How to inject the poetry of the elements and gunas into a broad-based understanding of the healing process.
• How to digest these postures over time as teachers, and how to continue to grow in restorative teaching skills long after the training ends.
• How to improve your ability to heal yourself and to empower others to heal themselves.
