The Yoga Pod Tucson’s 35-hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training is certified by Yoga Alliance and eligible for continuing education hours for current yoga teachers. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the art and science of rest. Designed for yoga teachers, wellness professionals, caregivers—and anyone seeking to understand and experience the profound benefits of deep rest.

Restorative yoga provides a sanctuary—a way to gently guide the nervous system back toward parasympathetic tone. With thoughtfully supported postures using props like bolsters, blankets, blocks, straps and sandbags, the body is invited into deep release. This “rest and digest” state supports healing on every level: physical, mental, and emotional.

This training provides the tools to skillfully share or personally integrate restorative yoga as a pathway to the benefits of deep rest, through the art and science of restorative yoga. You’ll explore the latest research in neuroscience and the profound physiological impact of rest on the body and mind.

In this training you’ll learn:

• The neuroscience of rest and nervous system regulation

• A complete overview of restorative yoga poses

• How to intelligently use props for maximum support and comfort

• Trauma-informed language and presence

• The subtle energetics of deep relaxation

• The art of cueing, theming, and creating intentional rest-based experiences

• How to teach restorative sequences in public classes and private sessions

Program includes:

• A bound and illustrated full color training manual

• Bonus reading material

• Class pack of five Yoga Pod classes
