Restorative Yoga Teacher Training (SOLD OUT)

Movement in Stillness: Restorative Yoga Teacher Training

with MARGO ROSINGANA

OCTOBER 26-27 | 9am-3pm | PYP - FOREST

Restorative Yoga uses supported poses to allow your body and nervous system the space it requires to rest and be held by the earth. This deeply grounding practice lets you experience a yielded space while turning your awareness towards your breath and more subtle somatic sensations. The purpose is to bring your body, heart, and mind into a responsive place so that you can creatively show up for yourself and others. Learn the art and science of teaching Restorative Yoga.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the physical, emotional, and mental benefits of a Restorative Yoga practice

  • Understand the use of basic Tantric Yoga philosophy concepts as applied to a Restorative yoga practice.

  • Learn about the basics of neuroscience and the nervous system to understand how Restorative Yoga can be beneficial.

  • Incorporate the aspect of the subtle body known as the Koshas and how they relate to the Elements of Ease ( Margo's map) for teaching and practicing Restorative Yoga.

  • Learn the basics of Restorative Yoga pose set-ups.

  • Learn how to include appropriate breathing practices for a Restorative Yoga class.

  • Foster ways to create an inquiry-based learning environment.

  • Create thoughtful Restorative Yoga sequences based on the Elements of Ease.

  • Use simple, non-dogmatic themes to inspire students.

  • Access to an online resource page with articles, video tutorials, blog posts, and full-length practices.

Only 10 spots created for this training. Sign up early!

Margo Rosingana (she/her): As a yoga teacher, I strive to bring thoughtfulness and sensitivity to the yoga space so that students may attend to their own inquiry and get what it is they need from the practice. The classes I teach combine detailed alignment, fluid breath, somatic movement, and heart-based themes. In addition to my experience as an instructor, I facilitate a signature Restorative yoga teacher training program.

I have an intense curiosity to understand what it means to be human. I am inspired by people’s resiliency and creativity and the ways that they embody their truth through writing, movement, music & art. I am currently enrolled in the Master’s of Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Goddard College in Vermont where I am studying body-based psychotherapy.
