30- Hour Restorative Yoga Training

30-Hour Restorative Teacher Training
With Valerie Weyrich
Saturday April 27 + Sunday April 28
Saturday May 4 + Sunday May 5

Description: Are you feeling called to slow down, rest, cultivate your relationship with stillness, experience relief from stress, or counterbalance a busy lifestyle and truly restore yourself? If nothing sounds better than intentionally relaxing your body and mind and learning how to teach others to do the same, join us for a deep dive into Restorative Yoga.

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE YOGA?
Restorative Yoga is the practice of active relaxation. Restorative poses support the physical body with a variety of props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks, or whatever treasures you find around your home such as pillows and chairs. Extended periods of time in each pose offer the opportunity to physically receive support and release tension while mentally and emotionally cultivating a relaxed state. This unwinding process invites the mind to meet the body in relaxed awareness to experience the benefits of slowing down, self-soothing, re-balancing the nervous system, and feeling supported in stillness.

Restorative Yoga invites you to unwind your body and mind, and “do less”.

When we learn to deeply care for ourselves and restore, we cultivate the ability to show up for ourselves and others from a place of “fullness”.

No advanced training or experience is required to practice Restorative Yoga. Students with injuries or physical disabilities are welcome. This training can serve as continuing education for yoga teachers and/or an opportunity to befriend your own personal practice and tap into your abilities to self-heal.
