Restorative Yoga Teacher Training Relax & Restore Intensive | Course Overview
“Restorative Yoga is a Relaxation practice for Conscious Deep Rest. Rest is not self-indulgence, Rest is not optional; Rest is self-preservation, Rest is respect for life.”- Adelene Cheong
To ‘rest’, to ‘relax’ and to ‘restore’ is a natural vital process in our lives. Rest supports optimal physiological functioning, and promotes healing and growth. During rest, one’s autonomic nervous system switches from sympathetic-dominance to parasympathetic-dominance, thus regeneration and restoration is accelerated. Research has shown that relaxation and rest are essential to everyone of all ages, cultures, size and shape.
Why do we practice Restorative Yoga?
- to support health and vitality and as an antidote to stress
- to replenish moments of depletion and fatigue at every level
- to restore mental clarity and resilience
- to reconnect to our innate true nature
- to live with the capacity for greater awareness and equanimity
- to offer the best version of ourselves to the world
