What restorative actually is
Not a slower class. A different practice.
- You hold a small number of fully supported postures, for a long time.
- Props do the work, so the body can stop working.
- No strength, no sweat, no performance — the point is to actually rest.
In a restorative practice, students hold fully supported postures for extended periods, using props to remove effort from the body completely. It isn't about building strength or moving through a flow — it's about giving the nervous system the conditions it needs to recover.
The goal isn't to work your body. It's to let it stop working so hard, for once.
Why this training, and why now
Restorative has gone from niche to essential.
As demand grows for classes that help students genuinely rest, studios need teachers who understand the practice rather than imitate its pace.
1
From niche to essential
Restorative has become one of the fastest-growing, most in-demand styles in modern yoga. Studios need teachers who can hold a room in genuine rest — not a slow flow with a bolster in it.
2
Built on nervous-system science
You'll learn what is actually happening in the body during a supported pose: the sympathetic and parasympathetic states, and why an uninterrupted invitation into rest-and-digest is where repair happens.
3
Depth, not props-and-blankets
Serious students welcome. This training is built for practitioners and teachers ready to go deep — it is not a casual introduction to props and blankets.
Inside the training · syllabus
Eight areas, across fifteen live hours.
The weekend moves from why the practice works, through how to set it up, to leading a full class of your own.
01
Philosophy & tradition
Where restorative practice comes from, and the lineage of thinking behind supported, long-held rest — so you teach it as a tradition with reasoning behind it, not a set of shapes.
02
Nervous system science
The sympathetic and parasympathetic states, and what's actually happening in the body during a restorative pose. Why most of daily life keeps a student tilted toward fight-or-flight, and how a supported posture invites the shift.
03
The role of props
How props enable full physical support — the difference between a prop that props and a prop that truly removes effort from the body. Bolsters, blankets, blocks, and how to improvise when a student has none.
04
The 5 pillars of restorative yoga
The five principles that separate a genuinely restorative pose from a merely comfortable one, and how to test any setup against them.
05
Categories & class structure
The categories of restorative pose, and how a full class is shaped — what opens it, what belongs in the middle, and how rest is arrived at rather than announced.
06
A complete pose library
Every major category, with setup, timing, and teaching cues for each pose. The practical core of the training, and the reference you'll teach from afterward.
07
Contraindications & scope of practice
When a pose is wrong for the body in front of you, how to adapt it, and where a yoga teacher's scope ends. The part that keeps your students safe and your teaching honest.
08
Sequencing & leading a full class
Putting it together: how to sequence and lead a complete restorative class, in person or online — pacing, language, silence, and holding a room that is asked to do nothing.

Who this training is for
Serious students welcome.
This training is built for practitioners and teachers ready to go deep — not a casual introduction to props and blankets.
This is for you if you are
- A teacher who wants to add restorative to what you can genuinely offer
- A practitioner drawn to rest as a practice in its own right
- Someone with no 200-hour training who is ready to study seriously
- A teacher whose students need rest more than they need another flow
It's not for you if
- You want a quick certificate to list on a bio
- You're looking for a casual introduction to props and blankets
- You expect a slower version of a regular class
- You can't give the weekend your attention
