100 hr Yoga Alliance Certified

This training guides self-inquiry to uncover habits and conditionings, peeling back layers to reveal your true essence.

Join the First 3 Days as a Workshop

The first three days of the RY 100-Hour Training are open to everyone as a 3-day workshop — an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

These days offer a gentle yet profound journey into the essence of Restorative Yoga-the yoga of Being: Conscious Rest. It’s a time to release tension and burdens from the past, discover new ways of moving, feeling, and being.

Through somatic practices , conscious movement, meditation, and the foundational principles of Restorative Yoga, you’ll learn how to cultivate presence, softness, and self-awareness — both on and off the mat.

Whether you simply wish to deepen the connection with yourself, or you’re considering joining the full 100-hour journey, this immersion offers an inspiring taste of the path ahead — a nourishing experience of stillness, embodiment, and renewal.

Some days there might be an early morning session at 6.30 am or a night session at 8.15 pm.

There will be some time off and visits to the river and the beach.

This 100-hour training provides new tools to carry into one’s personal practice, teachings, and daily life. Using the language of yoga and other disciplines, students are invited into a journey of self-inquiry and self-discovery.

The training is YACEP certified as a Yoga Teacher Training and contributes to ongoing study credit hours.

These are essential elements to embodying yoga on and off the mat.

Yoga means “union”, and so it offers an opportunity to join the body, mind, and spirit with Mother Earth.

Although this work is not religious, it is a deeply spiritual practice.
