Restorative Yoga Teacher Training – 2017
with Satya Greenstone, E-RYT 500, C-IAYT
June 2 - 11, 2017
Join us for Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. Restorative Yoga is a deeply rejuvenating element that can be incorporated into any Yoga practice.
Using props, the body is placed in gentle, supported asanas that can be held longer without physical effort. These poses can be offered to students low in energy, or during times of stress, illness, healing, or crisis. They release mental and physical tensions, elicit a deeper state of relaxation, and allow the body to return to its natural state of balance and peace.
These poses can be offered to students low in energy, or during times of stress, illness, healing, or crisis. They enable students to receive the asana’s benefit without exerting physical effort.
Topics covered in this teacher training course include:
- Balanced sequences of supported poses for general relaxation, stress reduction, and special needs
- Safe and effective prop use and maintenance
- Incorporation of restorative poses into a regular Hatha Yoga practice or class
- How to instruct and adjust students in restorative poses
- Yoga Nidra: supported relaxation poses
- Supported poses for enhancing pranayama practice
- Other healing aspects of Yoga
All props will be supplied for your use and practice during the course. Due to the nature of the practice, enrollment is limited to twenty students.
