Restorative Teacher Training: 16 Hour CPD
£225
Join us for a two day restorative teacher training delivered by Aoife O’Dalaigh. This is a practical guide to help bring this resting practice into your personal practice, yoga room, or therapy space.
More than relaxation, restorative yoga is a practice of nervous system healing, awareness, and deep support.
What can I expect?
This training will help de-mystify the art and science behind deep and conscious rest. We will explore the practical side to using props to support the body. We will also look at the subtle body to help students find their way into a deeper place of rest. This training will also emphasise finding your own voice to lead and guide people in a compassionate way.
Who is it for?
This 2-day course is for anyone who wants to explore their relationship with resting ‘on purpose’. The training can be used to deepen your personal practice or for Yoga teachers, therapists, nurses, and anyone in the healing arts.
