The Restorative Teacher Training is a multi-faceted and rich exploration to inform the personal study as well as teaching skills of each student. Students and teachers of yoga will learn the joys of Restorative through first-hand experience of the postures, and will also learn hands on experience in how to teach students of all levels.
Non yoga instructors who are interested in restorative yoga either to inform their own health and wellness or to inform their line of work are welcome to attend. The training is a rich resource for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge of their own health and looking into non invasive, gentle, affordable, but powerful tools for healing.
“This was a valuable Restorative Teacher Training course. Andrea is gifted in her ability to communicate the principles of restorative yoga in a practical and usable way. It opened the door into areas about which I want to continue learning.”

Restorative Yoga Teacher Training: The Art and Science of Coming into Balance
Restorative Yoga offers a true path into renewed wholeness, and is an invaluable tool to manage and release tension on all levels. In a society governed by high levels of activity and stress, with people often stuck in survival mode, this practice could not be more important. Students who complete this course are empowered to be world class teachers with a deep awareness of the practice and benefits of Restorative Yoga.
Benefits of this Restorative Certification
Restorative Yoga offers what no other yoga practice can: rebalancing from the inside out. The Restorative Yoga Certification at Breathe Yoga Studio will give you a deep clarity about the rejuvenating experience of this practice and how to effectively pass this on to others. It will also teach you to adapt your set ups to a wide range of bodies and ages. Andrea will gently shadow your work, making sure that you leave fully prepared. Whether you are a yoga teacher expanding skills and knowledge, a student seeking mastery, or in another profession entirely, you will leave this experience able to.
“Andrea Peloso’s knowledge of restorative yoga is in-depth… I have taken classes from Andrea as a Restorative teacher trainee and have found a very strong leader in this field of yoga.” Joni Moriyama
Science and traditional wisdom: Understanding the scientific reality of the nervous system and how it affects the body as well as the traditional roots of yoga will help students to compose classes which are genuinely effective.
The details of using yoga props: The use of props to support the body is essential to Restorative Yoga. The art of reading bodies is essential to a well propped restorative pose. Students will gain hands on practice in understanding how each pose relates to different bodies, as well as the general physical alignment that enables the student to rest more deeply.
A comprehensive repertoire of postures: Andrea will share excellent Restorative Yoga postures with enough detail necessary to bring depth and life changing benefits to students.
Teaching methodology as a result of personal practice, deepening our empathy for ourselves, as well as our ability to communicate with students will be a theme throughout the course.
The place of Restorative Yoga in the wider world of yoga will also be explored as well as business tips.
Andrea welcomes yoga teachers seeking to deepen their Restorative Yoga knowledge or learn the practice for the first time as well as anyone seeking to add this practice into their lives. Massage therapists, acupuncturists, teachers, nurses, police officers and social workers have all taken this training as well as those simply seeking to benefit their health. Teachers are offered certification and their work is shadowed by Andrea to ensure the highest quality.
