In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you'll learn how to design and lead restorative yoga classes.

This reverse-classroom workshop includes a preassignment and follow-along classes (lucky you!) to complete before we meet, so please budget at least seven hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.

Our in-person sessions will:

+ Create a clear definition of what constitutes restorative yoga—and what differentiates it from gentle yoga and yin yoga
+ Take a bird's-eye view of the nervous system and its experience in restorative yoga
+ Workshop the student experience in restorative yoga classes, so we can empathize with and serve our students better
+ Prompt you to design restorative sequences; you'll also get full class plans to use right away
+ Experiment with perfect prop placement for every body
+ Build your confidence in leading students of every age and level of ability
+ Give you a warm, supportive environment in which to practice your newfound restorative yoga teaching skills and prop expertise

FAQs

Q: Am I too old/out of shape for this series? Alternatively, am I too young/experienced at yoga to learn more?

A: No! This series is perfect for everyone, and we will all support you wherever you are in your life journey and yoga journey. The whole group will develop better connection and understanding of yoga as we learn how to adapt the poses for everyone.

Q: If I already have a membership, can I still sign up?

A: Absolutely! This is a wonderful enhancement to your existing practice. You can register for Roots and Wings now and we will happily put a hold on your existing membership during the six weeks of the series.

Q: What if I miss a session?

A: You’ll still be able to follow along with the post-class notes. While we don’t offer make-ups, the series is such a good deal that you’ll get tons of value even if you must miss a session or two.

Treat yourself to a well-rounded and rejuvenating yoga experience in this special two-hour workshop led by Amy Boerner. We’ll start with a dynamic, spicy slow flow—an energizing hour of intentional movement designed to build strength, awaken the body, and connect breath with motion. After generating heat and opening the body, we’ll transition into a calming yin practice, allowing for long, supported holds that target deep connective tissues and invite a sense of stillness and release. Whether you're looking to challenge yourself, unwind, or simply enjoy a thoughtful blend of movement and rest, this workshop offers a space to reset and reconnect.

Practicing yoga can be a powerful way to help yourself heal after loss. Whether your loss is the death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, or surviving a major health crisis or traumatic event, the grief process is often slow and meandering. Yoga can help to comfort you in times of sadness and grief, to feel connection or closure with who or what is lost, and to open your heart and be in the present.

This ongoing workshop helps students develop a toolkit for resilient grieving, including yoga and movement, breathwork, meditation and reflection, journaling, and the company of others experiencing loss. Join Joe-Paul and this yoga group of students addressing grief, adjusting to a new world after loss, and focusing on renewal and investment in health and relationships.
