Learning to relax is at the heart of living well. Restorative Yoga provides the teacher with skilful ways to teach the art of conscious relaxation.

Restorative Yoga is a contemporary term used to describe a practice which offers highly specific support in postures. An arrangement of bolsters, blankets and cushions with the added use of a chair, the wall or sandbags hold the body in such a way as to facilitate a soft ‘passive opening’ rather than the ‘active stretching’ familiar in a regular asana class.

Specialized sequencing makes this practice particularly beneficial for nourishing the nervous and immune systems, and it is therefore suited to those with chronic conditions, immune disorders, and those recovering from illness. A natural state of balance results from the ease and effortlessness of assisted postures.

Through direct experience, practice teaching and immediate feedback, trainees will learn specific sequences for stressful life-transitional conditions, as well as simple poses to relieve the stress of travel, desk and production-line jobs. The use of a chair has become a favourite with seniors and those recovering from certain injuries and is an essential addition to a teacher’s repertoire of lesson plans.
