Relax and Renew Learning to Teach Restorative Yoga, Level 1

FOR YOGA TEACHERS AND SERIOUS STUDENTS

We work hard in our lives and while we might sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us relax and rest deeply and completely, benefiting the body’s organ systems.

In this 30-hour training, learn the art and skill of teaching Restorative yoga, including

  • The physiology of relaxation
  • The physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of restorative yoga
  • Special poses for menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause
  • How to sequence and teach a restorative yoga class.

Measurable results of relaxation include reduction of blood pressure, muscle tension, and fatigue, and improvement of immune function, digestion, fertility, and elimination.

Note It is recommended that program participants bring their own yoga mat and eyebag.
