Restorative Yoga is the Art of Healing by Letting Go

Why Restorative Yoga?

Restorative yoga uses bolsters, blankets, blocks, chairs, and straps to fully support each pose, inviting deep relaxation and healing. It calms stress, PTSD, insomnia, fatigue, “monkey mind,” grief, fear, and anxiety. Ideal for all bodies—beginners, those with injuries, or anyone seeking active rest.

Who Should Attend

  • Yoga students expanding their personal practice

  • Teachers earning CEUs and learning to guide restorative classes

  • Wellness professionals (therapists, medical staff, educators, physical therapists) integrating restorative techniques

Randi went with the flow of our group. She covered content, went with us when we had other questions, then brought us back. Her years of experience allowed her to share insights and approaches. She really drew me out of my "in the box" thinking. I am so excited to teach my next class. This is just what I needed to rejuveniate my practice.
