Trauma-Sensitive Restorative Yoga for Self-Care Teacher Training 2021


Some of our students’ most effective healing can happen through Restorative Yoga. When given the opportunity for deep and purposeful rest, our students can experience what caring for themselves really feels like as we hold the space for them to be still, be quiet, listen inward, and be held. Restorative Yoga can aid in trauma-recovery, reduce fatigue, comfort experiences of anxiety, alleviate physical pain due to injury or stress responses, among other things. This teacher training will provide the tools you need to teach Restorative Yoga poses with confidence in a group setting and to one-on-one clients. Training includes a copy of a Restorative Yoga Teacher Training Manual.

The training will be held at Yogamour Yoga & Healing Arts Center, 1 Wormans Mill Court, Suite 11, Frederick, Maryland.
