    Restorative Yoga rejuvenates vital life force energy (prana) by deeply calming the nervous system and quieting the mind, reconnecting us to our essential vitality. Supportive props are utilized in long comfortably held postures, deeply soothing the central nervous system while creating subtle openings and releases in the physical body. This effective practice easily helps the body to reset and tap into its own innate healing abilities. This is the “art of relaxation” where doing less is truly more… more clarity, energy and balance!

     

    In this 25 hour Restorative Yoga Training, you will learn through first-hand experience the healing benefits of the restorative practice. We’ll explore the “what, why and how” for the application of restorative yoga as a method of regulating the nervous system.

     

    You’ll learn:

    • The autonomic nervous system: Fight, Flight & Freeze vs. Rest & Restore
    • Decoding the stress response including the “window of tolerance” and how it pertains to restorative yoga
    • Understanding common Chronic Health conditions and the role restorative yoga can play
    • In-depth exploration of poses, their purpose and how to set up the pose with ample props
    • How to design, cue and adapt postures for individual needs including precautions and contraindications
    • Pranayama techniques that deepen the restorative yoga experience
    • Mindfulness and meditation within the postures

    There is no required reading and a manual is included.

    Please note: There is a final assignment requirement prior to certification.

     

    This training fulfills 25 CEUs and is an elective for the Prana Yoga Studio 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training.
