Restorative Yoga 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

Come and learn the art and science of Restorative Yoga, and gain the skills to practice active relaxation. This Relax & Restore Intensive immersion supports ample space and time for learning, reflection and integration. Whether your intention is to deepen your personal understanding of restorative practices, offer it to family/friends/clients, or to teach and share this healing practice. There will be comprehensive coverage of both the theoretical and practical applications of restorative yoga.
