30 HR ADVANCED STUDY: RESTORATIVE WITH INGE PETERS

In this 30 hours training we will explore the art of conscious deep rest through the practice of Restorative Yoga.

What?
To deeply rest, relax and recharge is essential to generate good health, a vital immune system and mental/ emotional stability. Restorative Yoga is a beautiful soft practice in which we use props to support the body so the whole system is able to rest, relax, restore and recharge. This practice has a profound positive impact on the autonomic nervous system and will benefit those who are experiencing fatigue or recover from illness, stress, anxiety, emotional issues, but it’s also beneficial for anyone who wants more balance and better health. It’s truly for all beings to stay in optimal health!

Why?
Deep rest and relaxation stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest & digest branch, that helps to restore and recharge. Most of the time the sympathetic nervous system is active and even over-stimulated which can cause fatigue, overwhelm and stress, and instability in the mind-body-heart relationship. Our system gets depleted in time when we don’t deeply rest. With Restorative yoga we do exactly that. We consciously rest in a non-doing state, where we can feel and listen to our (subtle) body and re-connect.

What?
You will learn about the physiology of rest and relaxation and the Autonomic Nervous System. You will learn how to practice and share Restorative Yoga and integrate the knowledge from experience.
