To ‘rest’, to ‘relax’ and to ‘restore’ is a natural vital process in our lives. Rest supports optimal physiological functioning, and promotes healing and growth. During rest, one’s autonomic nervous system switches from sympathetic-dominance to parasympathetic-dominance, regeneration and restoration is accelerated. Research has shown that relaxation and rest is essential to everyone of all ages and culture, size and shape.

Why do we practice Restorative Yoga?

  • To support health and vitality, an antidote to stress
  • To replenish moments of depletion and fatigue at every level
  • To restore mental clarity and resilience
  • To reconnect to our innate true nature
  • To live with capacity for greater awareness and equanimity
  • To offer the best version of ourselves to the world

What students say:

"This course was exceptional. The level of detail and knowledge was outstanding. The structure and delivery was very well thought out. There was depth and substance in terms of facilitating a well-rounded learning experience for students. There was a perfect balance between a humanistic, person-centred developmental learning experience and the experience of building on knowledge, learning new skills and refining our craft as a Restorative yoga teacher. Adelene is an exceptional teacher and a beautiful person. I am deeply grateful and will attend more of her trainings. "
