You will learn how to skilfully create and teach restorative postures to suit the students in front of you, using props such as bolsters, blankets, cushions, belts, and other supportive tools on the mat. The focus is always on meeting each individual where they are, allowing the practice to be both accessible and deeply nourishing.
Participants will develop the ability to teach all levels—from complete beginners to more experienced practitioners—using trauma-informed language and inclusive teaching methods. We will explore how to communicate clearly, hold space with sensitivity, and support students in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.
A key element of this training is a deep dive into the nervous system, helping you understand how restorative yoga supports regulation, recovery, and resilience. You will learn both verbal and physical assisting techniques, giving you the confidence to support each student with care and intention.
This course also explores the essence of restorative yoga—the importance of rest and stillness, and the quiet strength that comes from slowing down. You will gain a clear understanding of the many benefits of the practice, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, and supporting overall health and well-being.
