In this course, you’ll learn straightforward techniques to practice and teach Restorative
Yoga, how to set up your class and share this practice with others.
Restorative yoga is a practice in and of itself for people of all ages, at all levels of yoga experience and in all states of health. This healing practice benefits every types of body, reduces stress and soothes the sympathetic nervous system. It gives time and space to your body so it can restore itself.
In our culture of constant activity and distraction everything seems to accelerate, and we find ourselves overstimulated and constantly trying to catch up and keep pace. In this training you’ll learn how to work with your nervous system and breath to decelerate, slow
down and discover spaciousness and stillness within. It is by experiencing this relaxation state first that you’ll be able to guide your students into a similar experience.

How will this course advance my career?

Studies prove, time and again, that college-educated workers earn more than those with only a high school qualification. College graduates often enjoy additional benefits, including greater job opportunities and promotions. Though the proof for greater earning potential exists, some might wonder whether the cost of the education warrants the overall expense in the long run.
College Graduate vs. Non-Graduate Earnings
The National Centre for Education Statistics (NCES) analyses employee earnings data biennially, according to education level. Findings indicate that workers with a qualification earn significantly more than those without. Since the mid-1980s, education has played a large part in potential wages, with bachelor's degree holders taking home an average of 66% more than those with only a high school diploma do. While college-educated workers' wages have increased over the past two decades, those with only a high school education have seen decreases in annual salaries in the same time period (nces.ed.gov).
