Join the next Ritual of Rest
Virtual Restorative Yoga Teacher
Next virtual Ritual of Rest Restorative Yoga Teacher Training begins October 2023
Let’s face it, some of us really like practicing at home, or have transitioned to a hybrid model. This restorative virtual teacher training will support you as you cultivate your personal restorative practice, and give you the resources to guide others via, Zoom or in the classroom.
You will learn from your personal experience and practice, and have the skills to guide others’s in supportive, restful postures, as well as give a variety of suggestions to your virtual class on how to self-set up, and engage with rest.
Restorative yoga offers the assistance of props to hold the body; when the body is held it learns to release and rest. This training is for yoga teachers, healthcare professionals, and dedicated students alike.
FOCUS OF TRAINING:
What is restorative yoga: the restorative environment and the restorative yoga gems.
The Nervous System: Understanding the nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic), Vagus nerve and one’s relationship to it.
