Some of our students' deepest experiences of yoga happen when we
can give them the opportunity to stop working to control their body
and mind and instead help them rest with support, awareness, and
intention. The deep, purposeful kind of resting possible with
restorative yoga can eliminate fatigue, expedite recovery from
injuries, ease experiences of anxiety, and develop resistance to
the impact of stress on physical and mental health, among other
things. This online teacher training will provide the tools you
need to teach restorative poses with confidence and ease, both in a
group setting and to one-on-one clients.
You will learn:
- detailed alignment and propping instruction of at least seven
restorative postures
- the benefits, applications, and energetics of restorative yoga
asanas
- when and how to use props to initiate a relaxation response
- how to address injuries, limitations, and special conditions
during restorative practice
- ways to identify physical and energetic misalignment in
restorative poses
- skills for physical and verbal adjustments during restorative
practice
This training is ideal for:
- new and experienced yoga teachers who want to expand their
teaching skills
- anyone currently enrolled in an immersion or yoga teaching
training program
- anyone interested in deepening their understanding and experience
of restorative yoga
This training is eligible for 12 hours of continuing education
credits with Yoga Alliance and, after completion, there are
opportunities to join Tara's apprenticing program.
Cost includes a PDF copy of Tara's 30-page Restorative
Yoga Teacher Training Manual.

things which differentiates it from other styles of practice.

substitutes such as towels or small throw blankets. At least two of
these substitute items should be identical.
