RESTORATIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

with Farrah Forsyth
SCHEDULE Friday: 7-9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 12:30-3:30 & 6-8 PM

Most of us lead lives that reinforce working at very rapid pace and then we collapse in exhaustion. We have very few habits that encourage balance between these two extremes. In Restorative yoga we focus on “being” rather than “doing.” Our bodies know how to relax and they know how to heal themselves. Restorative yoga is about giving our bodies time and creating the conditions for relaxation and healing to occur.
To teach Restorative yoga we must first learn the practice of Restorative yoga. In this training you will learn to embody and lead restorative poses, as well as techniques for guiding deep relaxation and stillness. You will gain the ability and confidence to provide your students with the much needed relief they need from the stress of their busy lives. By offering your students this gift of intense rest, they will discover more energy for family, work and creativity.

Anatomy, physiology and the benefits of Restorative yoga
