Restorative Yoga Teacher Training: Level 1 | CERTIFIED IAYT

This is an extremely comprehensive, trauma-informed training program that is unique in format and what you will learn. I bring years of experience working with hundreds of bodies in restorative practice and embodiment, and have trained over 120 local teachers! This training is truly comprehensive and unlike any other, honoring the true lineage of Restorative and Therapeutic Yoga.

In this 50-hour training, you will learn the art and skill of restorative yoga, its benefits, and anatomy; and be fully prepared to guide a group class.
