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

Prior to COVID, offering hands-on
assists in a yoga class was commonplace. In the post-COVID world of
distance and space, hands-on assists got left out of YTTs and
became less commonplace in classes. But touch can be an important
way to offer support and relaxation, communicate compassion and
acceptance, and help your students find their full potential in a
pose.
In this weekend workshop with Carrboro Yoga's 200-hour lead teacher
trainer Alexandra DeSiato, we will:
+ discuss why assists are offered
+ explore the most common shapes to assist
+ practice the hands-on assists you learn
+ look at the concerns around assists, including consent and
students misunderstanding the purpose of hands-on yoga
You'll leave the weekend ready to offer safe hands-on assists,
confident in the value they add to your yoga teaching, and ready to
level up your classes.
We meet Saturday, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and 1–4 p.m., and again Sunday, 9
a.m.–12 p.m. (There is no Sunday afternoon session, freeing you to
travel.)
This workshop, which is part of our 300/500-hour advanced studies
yoga teacher training, is also open to teachers from any movement
modality.
