Restorative Yoga Training Module & Yoga Retreat
17 mai 2026 - 24 mai 2026
The week is both a training and a Yoga retreat
The course, led by Anouk Aoun, is both for Yoga teachers wishing to add this particular skill to their teaching and for those looking to enjoy a week of immersion into the slow rhythms of Yoga.
This is a course registered with Continuing Education Yoga Alliance -YACEP- for 50hrs.
35hrs are solely dedicated to Restorative Yoga. The module will allow those who already hold a Yoga teaching degree to add hours of study to their experience and teaching credentials.
15hrs additional hours are for the practice of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama and meditation with a qualified teacher in the lineage of Emil Wendel.
This Restorative Module Covers:
- A look in depth at Restorative Yoga postures
- The methodical use of props and prop options
- The benefits and counter-indications of the Restorative Yoga postures
- Modifications and options suitable to individual needs
- Skills and understanding on how to guide a Restorative Yoga class. Further emphasis will be placed on verbal skills: the art of teaching
- Observation skills: learning to look at each individual body and its needs
- Basic understanding of the nervous system connected to Yoga in conjunction with the breath
- How to bring about a state of presence and relaxation in the restorative class
- How to sequence a class and possibly combine restorative Yoga with light movements of the body
- How to give gentle adjustments: the art of touch
At the end of the course, each participant will have a great opportunity to individually present a 30 min. long class and receive feedback from an experienced teacher trainer.
Note: Anouk makes a difference between Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga. This is a Restorative Yoga course.
Requirements
Participants need to have a minimum of 2 years of previous practice of physical Yoga.
Having gained experience teaching at over thirty teacher trainings during the last twelve years, for this module, Anouk would like to keep the number of participants small: a maximum of 12 participants will be taken in.
