Restorative Yoga Teacher Training – Part 1: September 2025

Featured Yoga Education, Teacher Training

Learn to teach Restorative Yoga through the Integral Yoga Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. Part 1 will be held September 18 – 23, 2025 at Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville, Virginia. The training will be taught by Satya Greenstone, E-RYT 500, C-IAYT.  Restorative Yoga is a simple, effective antidote to relieve stress, tension, and anxiety. Learn to teach this practice of placing the body into specific Yoga asana (postures) using the support of props such as bolsters, pillows, blocks, blankets, or chairs.

These gentle asanas literally hold and maintain the position of the body as one releases mental and physical tension. In this supported state, the asana can be held for a significantly longer period of time, which facilitates a state of deeper relaxation. This extended duration allows the innate intelligence of the body to reintegrate the system to its natural state of balance and peace as the tension dissolves and melts away.

The Restorative Yoga poses may be offered as an alternative to regular asanas, when one is low in energy, during times of mental or physical stress, as well as during a time of physical illness, healing, or crisis. The supported poses enable one to receive the benefit of the asana without exerting muscular effort.

In Part 1, you will learn how to:
  • Teach a complete, balanced, 90-minute Restorative Yoga class
  • Adapt the basic poses for shorter classes and incorporate restorative poses into regular Hatha Yoga classes and practices
  • Instruct, modify, and adjust poses for individual needs
