Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
March 1-3, 2024
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a slow, healing style of Yoga that encourages deep physical, mental, and emotional relaxation.
In Restorative Yoga, the postures focus on stillness, long holds & deep breathing and are supported by a variety of Yoga props (blankets, bolsters, blocks). Easily accessible for all levels, Restorative Yoga offers a rejuvenating practice that balances the mind and body, cultivates conscious relaxation and releases deep seated tension.
It’s an easy, effective stress reduction method and recovery tool to counter our fast-paced lives – a perfect supplement for more active styles of Yoga and an invaluable resource for anyone dealing with stress and anxiety and recovering from illness & injury.
