Restorative Yoga Immersion & Teacher Training
Restorative Yoga is a practice of allowing and restoring the body's natural sense of wellbeing. By creating a safe place to practice and drawing upon a variety techniques including supported yoga shapes or 'poses,' gentle yoga, hands on assists and guided meditations, we are invited into our deep sense of wellness. With the body, mind and nervous system supported, we have greater ability to be with what is presently moving through us, as well as access to our body's innate wisdom for healing and guidance. Over time, we learn to develop a variety of inner resources and become more in tune to the messages within our own body and psyche.
This two part training takes place over two weekends. We will focus on the foundations of the practice along with in depth experience of both receiving and offering restorative yoga practice:
Part 1 of this training will focus on the experience of restorative yoga as well as how to create and hold space for others. As a group, we will discuss restorative yoga shapes, or poses, as well as hands-on assists, guided meditations, breathing and communication. Additionally, we will discuss ways of which we as teachers, healers, guides and caregivers can take care of ourselves while in service. Participants will walk away with the basics of restorative yoga as well as a sampling of shapes and techniques to include as a part of an active yoga class, or in healing and health care settings. This training is appropriate for current teachers as well as those involved in the healing arts, caregivers and those interested in furthering their own practice. The training is intended for self-exploration while giving the practitioner foundations for teaching. Prior experience is not needed to join.
In part 2 of the training, we will explore in greater depth techniques to offer students as well as self-care for the teacher and practitioner. We will build upon part one through receiving further restorative yoga practices along with an additional 8-10 restorative yoga shapes, modifications for the shapes and hands on assists. Students will have the opportunity to offer one another sessions followed by group discussion. Taking both weekends will provide a stepping-off place to begin teaching restorative yoga classes as well as one on one sessions with clients.
Investment is $225 per weekend. Please click here for more info and sign up.

Join me in this playful and interactive workshop of assisting your partner into supported, gentle stretches. We will focus on easily accessible yoga shapes, primary lying down with the use of bolsters and blankets. Many of the techniques are derived from Thai Yoga Massage of which your partner remains in a passive state while you gently apply rhythmic pressure and simply stretches. Then, switch roles!
We will then end with a spacious savasana for all in order to integrate the experience on all levels.
No prior experience needed. You are welcome to bring a partner or come on your own.
