Additional Teacher Training Courses/Continuing Education
Trauma Informed Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
with Jodi Boone and Heather Danso Emanuel- Restorative Yoga Institute
November 11, 12, 13 at The Yoga Tree
with an included online workshop November 17
(See schedule below)
$745 (includes extensive manual)
Class size limited to 12
Join us for an immersion into the art and practice of Restorative Yoga. Resting deeply is at the foundation of Restorative Yoga. To rest, we need to feel fully supported. Resting in fully-supported postures allows for us to let go of tension and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is why the practice of Restorative Yoga is profoundly healing. We have known this for years. Now research done by various institutions, including Harvard Medical School, offers proof that restorative yoga is a profound antidote for stress.
There is an art to helping students prop themselves in a supportive and restful way. During this training, we will cover more than 20 restorative postures, as well as innumerable variations. Our focus is on experiential and individualized learning. We help each student find a supportive position in each pose that will allow their bodies to relax and nervous systems to rest. This deep rest is transformative and offers the same benefits we receive from meditation. In addition, our training includes trauma informed cueing, as well as other considerations that are intrinsic to creating spaces that are welcoming, safe, and supportive.
Follow-up with the Online Adaptive Restorative Yoga Workshop, and learn how to teach restorative yoga online using "at home props," or minimal props, using things such as bed pillows, couch cushions, etc. This add-on workshop is included in the price of the training. This workshop adds 2.5 hours to your certificate.
Schedule:
Friday, Nov 11: 2 to 8:30 pm
Saturday, Nov 12: 11:30 am: to 8:00 pm

Restorative Yoga for Pregnancy and Injury
With Jodi Boone and Heather Danso Emanuel - Restorative Yoga Institute
January 14, 2023
1-4 pm at The Yoga Tree
$125
Class size limited to 12!
Resting deeply is at the foundation of Restorative Yoga. Often, pregnant students come to Restorative Yoga to find the deep rest that they need so profoundly. Resting in fully-supported postures allows for us to let go of tension and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is why the practice of Restorative Yoga is profoundly healing and supportive, especially during pregnancy. Yet, many Restorative Yoga poses are contraindicated for the pregnant practitioner, so it is important to know how to welcome, and include these students in your class.
Many of the same adaptations that are so supportive for pregnant folx are also beautiful ways to support students that have larger bodies, and offer creative ways to expand your ability to adapt propping for people with spinal fusions, difficulty in twisting, and other physical challenges.
We'll address:
The principles that apply when teaching people during pregnancy
Adapting in-class and private sessions to accommodate pregnant people, people in larger bodies, and people with health conditions
How to sequence, cue, and support diverse students within the same class
How to support yourself when teaching students with varying propping needs
Gain confidence in working with individuals with spinal fusions, postural issues resulting from neurological conditions such as Parkinson's, or other injuries that impact their practice.
Our focus is on experiential and individualized learning; we help each student find a supportive position in each pose that will allow their bodies to relax and their nervous systems to rest. This deep rest is transformative and offers the same benefits we receive from meditation. In addition, our training includes trauma informed cuing, as well as other considerations that are intrinsic to creating spaces that are welcoming, safe, and supportive.
Prerequisite: We recommend that students have taken a Restorative Yoga Teacher Training, and are familiar with the practice. We understand that people might choose to come without this training, and ask that you contact us prior to registration.

12-5 pm both days, at The Yoga Tree
$495 (includes extensive manual)

Teaching classes that combine chair work, mat, and/or wall postures
pranayama and meditation
the art of sequencing
functional anatomy
working with students with special needs, injuries, and health conditions
gentle assists and appropriate touch
Often people come to Chair Yoga classes because they have mobility issues, as well as conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, joint replacements, stiffness and other often age-related or chronic medical conditions. For so many, yoga is new to them. Time and time again, participants are amazed at how the yoga makes them feel in their bodies – they notice more mobility and relaxation after just one session.
Chair Yoga is an appropriate practice for anyone needing a gentle approach to yoga, as well as the support of a chair.
This training focuses on teaching chair yoga classes, as well as classes that combine both chair and mat yoga classes. You will learn how to teach people with different levels of mobility and health issues in an inclusive and safe way.
We will focus on age-appropriate movement, for the aging body, as well as taking into consideration what may be going on mentally and emotionally as we age. We will discuss in detail the most common health issues we see among students who attend senior / chair yoga classes, including high blood pressure, Parkinson’s Disease, previous stroke, joint replacement, partial hearing and sight loss, arthritis, osteoporosis and poor balance.
