The Rest Movement is a 100-hour Yoga Alliance accredited restorative yoga teacher training that is divided up into 5 weekends of 20 hours each to mirror and focus on each of the seasons in traditional Chinese medicine. In this training you will step into the essence of Restorative Yoga through the modalities of Yin, Yoga Nidra, and Mindfulness Meditation. Any weekend training can be taken on its own for an Intro to Restorative certification, or all courses taken over the course of a year for the 100-hour Advanced Restorative certificate.

This winter-weekend training is a level one restorative yin YTT that focuses on the theme of self regulation in the season of winter. It’s appropriate for all levels of yogic experience; those interested inoffering restorative yoga classes and those interested in deepening their experience of restorative states. You will learn the neurobiology of restorative states, an overview of the anatomy of the nervous system, polyvagal theory, as well as an understanding of the meridians and elements. You will feel empowered to guide a restorative class to support your students through the Winter Sequence, be well versed in the creative use of props, and the corresponding benefits/contraindications for each shape. In a beautiful way, you will have the opportunity to understand yourself on a deeper level.
