September 11-13, 2026
Schedule:
Friday: 5:30pm-8:30pm
Saturday: 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-4:00pm
Sunday: 9:00am-12:00pm
In a world of constant stimulation and demands, restorative yoga offers a deep, healing sigh of relief. During this nourishing weekend, we’ll explore (and experience) the principles, poses, props, and practices of this therapeutic style of yoga—long-held poses, abundant support, calming nervous-system regulation—to help you and your students reconnect with true relaxation and well-being.
Through experiential learning, practice, and small-group labs, we’ll dive into:
• The nervous system foundations of restorative practices, including why and how restorative yoga can support overall health
• A pose library, including specifics on alignment and prop set-ups (plus how to make do with minimal props)
• How to craft intelligent and meaningful sequences
• Ways to use themes, language, and cueing to enhance practices
• Providing nurturing hands-on assists
• Incorporating pranayama, meditations, and restorative rituals, such as guided visualizations and body scans
You’ll leave with tools, techniques, and sequences. Most of all, you’ll grow a heartfelt understanding of how to offer restorative practices as a quietly powerful antidote to the stress and anxiety, pressure and pace of modern life.
