The Science of Restorative Yoga

Teacher Training | 40 hr

Where Rest Becomes Revolutionary
Science-Based. Trauma-Informed. Nervous System-Aware.

The Future of Yoga Is Restorative

This training isn’t just about propping up bodies with blankets. It’s about rewiring the nervous system, cultivating embodied safety, and guiding students into deep states of healing.

In a world that glorifies hustle and overstimulation, learning to hold space for true restoration is a radical act—and a sacred skill.

What Makes This Training Unique

Unlike many programs, this training goes far beyond surface-level instruction. We integrate nervous system science, trauma-informed methodology, and yogic philosophy into a cohesive and transformative approach to teaching.

You will learn how to:

  • Activate the parasympathetic nervous system through posture, breath, and presence

  • Apply polyvagal theory and understand the role of the vagus nerve in yoga

  • Use breathwork, guided meditation, and Yoga Nidra to support regulation

  • Teach with trauma-sensitive, inclusive language and a presence-based approach

  • Design classes that are healing, grounded, and accessible to all bodies

This is not just a yoga certification. It is an immersion into the therapeutic potential of stillness, presence, and deep nervous system support.
