"Restorative Yoga is a Relaxation practice for Conscious Deep Rest.
Rest is not self-indulgence, Rest is not optional;
Rest is self-preservation, Rest is respect for life."
Adelene Cheong
Why do we practice Restorative Yoga?
To support health and vitality, an antidote to stress

"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. " - Past participant on training
