Restorative Yoga Teacher Training

Learn the Art of Deep Healing and Radical Rest

Discover the profound power of rest. This Restorative Yoga Teacher Training is a hands-on, immersive program designed to equip yoga teachers and wellness practitioners with the skills to guide others—and themselves—into deep healing through the art of restorative yoga.

Restorative yoga is a gentle, deeply nourishing practice that supports the nervous system, reduces stress, and invites the body into its natural state of balance. With the use of well-placed props like bolsters, blankets, straps, and chairs, each posture is designed to release long-held tension, support recovery from injury or illness, and create a profound sense of stillness and ease. Whether woven into general yoga classes or offered as a stand-alone practice, restorative yoga is a powerful therapeutic tool for students of all ages and abilities.

During this training, you’ll learn a complete series of restorative postures along with gentle stretching, breathwork, and meditative techniques. You’ll gain the confidence to teach restorative yoga safely and effectively, adapt poses for diverse bodies and conditions, and integrate these techniques into your existing classes or private sessions. This course is ideal for yoga teachers looking to expand their offerings and support students dealing with stress, anxiety, chronic pain, fatigue, nervous system disorders, or recovery from physical or emotional challenges.

You’ll Learn:

• The physical, emotional, and energetic benefits of restorative yoga
• How to prop the body correctly for maximum comfort and release
• How to structure full restorative classes or seamlessly integrate postures into other yoga styles
• Therapeutic applications for specific conditions such as insomnia, hypertension, and injury recovery
• The science of the nervous system and how restorative yoga promotes healing and homeostasis
• How to see and address imbalances in the body with clarity and compassion

You’ll Be Able To:

• Confidently teach a primary restorative yoga sequence
• Set up over 25 poses using verbal cues and accessible props
• Support students in cultivating deep relaxation and nervous system repair
• Offer posture suggestions for specific therapeutic effects and emotional states
• Understand how to blend yogic wisdom and scientific knowledge for powerful results
• Empower others on their healing journey—and deepen your own

This is more than a training—it’s a personal and professional reset. Return to your practice inspired, grounded, and ready to share the healing power of rest.
