Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra Teacher Training
Yoga Alliance Certified - 40 Hours



November 23rd & 24th and December 7th & 28th 2024

This certified 40-hour Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra training will focus on learning the art of relaxation, and using supported postures that facilitate the passive release of tension stored in the body, and by what means to elicit the Relaxation Response.


Expect a well-rounded and robust exploration of Restorative Yoga Postures and their variations, alternatives, cues and considerations, prop set-ups, alignment, adaptations, timings and transitions, touch adjustments, methodology of pranayama and the physiology of relaxation.


The training runs over 4 days and includes reading research and assignments. 


Research has shown that relaxation and rest are essential to every one.

Whether your intention is to deepen personal understanding of restorative practices,  offer it to family/friends, or teach and share this healing practice, there will be comprehensive coverage of both the theoretical and practical application of Restorative Yoga in this module.


Alison first learned Yoga Nidra in Rishikesh, India and fell in love with the practice. Her Nidra journey has included studies of traditional Nidra Techniques as well as the iRest programme developed by Richard Millar.

Her aim is to provide you with the skills needed in creating an atmosphere that encourages students to let go of mental stress and fill you with a love for teaching this advanced practice to heal, restore, and rejuvenate.
