About
Learn the art of restorative yoga, a powerful lifestyle medicine that is helpful to alleviate the stress and overwhelm of the modern age. It is a supportive physical practice that is highly accessible for all student levels and can be modified to be inclusive for a wide variety of student needs. Not to be confused with the wonderful practice of Yin that could be described as a practice of 'doing', Restorative seeks to cultivate a comfortable form and a sense of ease in the body or a state of 'being'. Restorative Yoga is acclaimed to create mind patterns imprinted through the process of neuroplasticity, cultivate inner resilience through practicing parasympathetic dominance, and allowing deep processing and integration.

We recommend undertaking a Level 1 200-hour yoga teacher training in addition to our specialised training so that you can be qualified, registered, and insured as a yoga teacher.

Is there a time limit for completing the course?
One of the major perks of flexible online self-paced training is studying at your own pace and working around your own schedule. We understand other commitments (work, family, kids, life) so after enrolling, you'll have 6-months to complete your online course with downloadable course materials (yours to keep forever woo hoo!).

What's better: online training or in person training?
It really depends on personal preference and your learning style. Some students simply prefer face-to-face intensive style of training, whereas others appreciate online training's flexibility and advantage of access to content to review. However, we do find that our online training is more than sufficient to feel confident to go out and teach.
What support can I expect during the course?
We strongly believe teacher trainings should be a space where you feel supported and get all your questions answered. Our goal is to help you succeed, pass assessment, and craft exceptional yoga teachers. We always encourage questions and discussions at any time before, during, and after training. We recommend commenting at the bottom of a lecture (as this is quick, direct access to your teacher trainer). Otherwise please email [email protected] and we'll pass your message on to your teacher trainer.
