Restorative Yoga Immersion & Teacher Training
We live in a world of constant stimulation, endless to-do lists, pressures to produce, and a nervous system that rarely gets a true pause. Many of us are running on empty, caught in cycles of stress and exhaustion. We don’t just need rest, we need deep, conscious relaxation.

Restorative yoga offers exactly that. Unlike sleep, watching TV, or having a glass of wine, restorative yoga is an intentional practice of deep support and surrender, an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and allow the nervous system to shift from overdrive into a state of true restoration.

Who is this training for?
This 20-hour training is open to anyone craving deep rest and those looking to share it with others. Whether you're a yoga teacher wanting to incorporate restorative practices into your classes or someone seeking to better understand the science of relaxation, this training will give you the tools to experience and teach profound rest.

Through immersive practice and hands-on learning, you will:
✔️ Understand the nervous system, how stress works in the short, medium, and long term
✔️ Learn how restorative yoga rewires the body & mind for relaxation and healing
✔️ Explore the power of breath—how it influences the nervous system and supports deeper relaxation
✔️ Learn to set up & teach restorative postures using props and prop alternatives
✔️ Experience a full restorative practice to integrate the teachings firsthand
✔️ Gain confidence in guiding others through this deeply healing practice

Topics Covered:
🌀 The Nervous System & Stress: Understanding how stress functions and how to work with it
🌬 The Breath & Relaxation: Mechanics of breathing and breathwork techniques to regulate the nervous system
🧘‍♀️ Foundations of Restorative Yoga: General guidelines, sequencing, and the art of inducing pratyahara (sense withdrawal)
🛠 Working with Props: How to use blankets, bolsters, blocks, and alternative supports to create the ultimate restorative experience
🕰 The Art of Stillness: Timing, sequencing, and setting up a deeply nourishing class

This training is more than just learning how to teach, it’s about deepening your own relationship with rest, so you can guide others from a place of experience and embodiment.

If you’re ready to slow down, reset, and learn the art of true relaxation, join us.
