Restorative Yoga Teacher Training

Learn how to stop “doing” and start “being”

Our bodies know how to relax. Our bodies know how to heal themselves.

We are all exhausted. In our ambitious obsession with “doing” we have forgotten the healing power of “being.” And we often experience stress, the leading syndrome of our urban lives, which leads to heart disease, obesity, infertility, indigestion, lowered immune function and much more. In the pursuit of health and work-life balance, yoga has become another thing on our to-do list. Restorative yoga is about giving our bodies time and creating the conditions for relaxation and healing to occur.

In Restorative Yoga we:

Learn how to stop “doing” and start “being”.
See the pose as the actor and the practitioner as the receiver.
Discover the secret to going slow, paying attention, and being still.
Practice deep rest and listen to the rhythm of our own hearts.
Emphasise “being” rather than “doing.”

“We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to relax. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to rest deeply and completely.”

- Judith Hanson Lasater - author of Restore and Rebalance: Yoga for deep relaxation & Lizzies’ mom!

The Restorative Yoga Training WITH LIZZIE LASATER (18 hr)

Join Lizzie Lasater in this profound course to explore for yourself and learn the art of teaching people how to calm their whole system down and learn to let go. Open to yoga teachers or curious students from all styles.

How can you best support your students to find silence in the midst of our cacophonous 21st century?
How do you make space for the unseen inner work of yoga in a culture ever more mesmerised by materiality and consumerism?
How can you personally integrate a profession about slowing down and giving our attention to spiritual growth into our accelerating lives?

What you will learn

First you will learn straightforward techniques for teaching introversion and stillness. Learn how to offer your students ways to soothe their overstimulated sympathetic nervous systems and find relief from the stress of their busy lives.

We take a targeted look at the theory, alignment, sequencing, and energetics of Restorative yoga. You will learn for example, to teach supported inversions, the most advanced poses for quieting the brain, decreasing anxiety, boosting the immune system, and hormonal balance.
