Restorative Teacher Training: 16 - Hour CPD

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.
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.
Be a student and experience a restorative practice on both days of the training.
Delve into the nervous system and why it is so important to learn how to ‘turn on’ the parasympathetic nervous system.
Work with the Koshas to bring students into the more subtle energetic body.
Learn how to use your props, including blanket folding, and the use of minimal props.
Learn the most fundamental restorative poses and how to guide you or your students in and out of them.
Explore effective verbal cueing and structuring a class that feels inclusive and safe for all practitioners. Then put that all together to practice teach with each other. Look at bodies in poses to see how you might help support a student or when to back off.
Who is this course for?
This two day Yoga Alliance 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.
