Restorative + Yin Yoga Teacher Training

From the Micro to the Macro

We start by honing in on the intention behind each restorative yoga posture and from there, develop strategies to curate each pose to the student in front of you. 

From a deep study of the individual (working one-on-one), we expand our skills to hold space and guidance for a group of students. 

The macro skills used when leading a restorative practice include considerations on group dynamics, an appreciation for our individual privileges and stories, and a recognition of how systemic oppression impacts all of us uniquely. More specifically, this program makes space for a discussion of how racialized trauma impacts both the individual and the collective.

From the Macro to the Micro

We build our knowledge from the ground up with a refresher on how the hip, shoulder and spine move. We use this tangible knowledge to better understand and assess restorative shapes. We honour the physical aspect to restorative yoga by spending time on pose templates and their many permutations.
