Some of our deepest experiences of yoga happen when we have the opportunity to rest with support, awareness, and intention. Restorative Yoga is more than just adult nap time or an occasional indulgence. This immersive program will help you understand the profound impact of Restorative Yoga as a practitioner and/or a yoga teacher. Yoga teachers who complete both days will be eligible for 12 continuing education hours (CEUs) with Yoga Alliance.

In this two-day program, we will explore:

  • The benefits, applications, and energetics of Restorative Yoga

  • Detailed alignment and propping instruction of Restorative Yoga postures -when/how to use props

  • How to address injuries and limitations during Restorative Yoga practice

  • Ways to identify physical and energetic misalignment in Restorative Yoga poses - skills for physical and verbal adjustments during Restorative Yoga practice

  • The benefits of compassion cultivation and its relationship to Restorative Yoga

  • How to lead Restorative Yoga practices in a variety of settings to a wide range of students

12 CEUS with Yoga Alliance

  • Anyone interested in deepening their understanding and experience of Restorative Yoga

  • New and experienced yoga teachers who want to grow teaching skills

  • Anyone currently enrolled in an immersion or yoga teaching training program

Cost: $280 (includes manual)

Tara Lemerise, E-RYT 200/E-RYT 500, was expecting the Ashtanga Yoga Primary series and ended up in a Restorative Yoga class instead. That was her best mistake ever! Tara has been teaching Restorative Yoga since 2005 and has earned Restorative Yoga teaching certificates from Jillian Pransky, Judith Hanson Laster, and Cyndi Lee. She has since trained over 100 yoga teachers in her highly-acclaimed Rest for All: Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. Tara is deeply committed to spreading the word about the power of the down-regulating and healing practices of Restorative Yoga in order to subvert the prevailing capitalist narrative that humans need to be over-worked and under-rested to have value.
