From our students...
I wholeheartedly recommend Restorative Teacher Training with Jodi and Heather. These gentle and gifted teachers offer an incredible and comprehensive restorative yoga teacher training. Weaving together instruction on restorative yoga philosophy and sequencing with the experience of several extended 90 minute practices provides an insightful and kinesthetic lesson that is deeply nourishing. I have never felt such a profound state of relaxation and awareness than during this training. This training was a nurturing dive into the art of my favorite (and most recommended) form of self care. As a restorative yoga teacher and mental health practitioner, I’m forever grateful for the skills and knowledge I gained from the Restorative YTT. Jodi and Heather are incredibly knowledgeable and lead you through all that you will need to know to be able to lead a restorative practice. I learned so many valuable lessons. I recommend this training to anyone. Learning from all these beautiful women was a gift. Jodi and Heather are extraordinary teachers. They create a safe and sacred environment in which students both learn the principles underlying this practice and experience the incredible relaxation and awareness that this practice engenders. It changed how I think about and practice yoga; and it opened a new path for my own professional practice as an occupational therapist in which I am able to give patients restorative postures as part of their home exercise plan and self care practices." |
As a Power Vinyasa Yoga instructor, I was looking for ways to balance out my teaching repertoire. Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Jodi Boone was the answer. I was able to create wonderful Restorative classes for my students right away as well as incorporate some of the concepts of Restorative Yoga into my Vinyasa classes and my own practice. Jodi has a softness about her that is perfect for leading Restorative Training. Underneath her softness is strength and power that comes from being a balanced Yogini! I highly recommend the class whether the intent is to teach or just deepen your practice. As an older practitioner, with some limitations in movement, I found the alternative postures Jodi and Heather offered especially beneficial. Some simple adjustments have truly enhanced my ability to get the maximum benefit from restorative classes without discomfort. The greater benefit is just being in a class with Jodi and Heather as they exemplify the best of yogic practice, whether demonstrating the postures or living the philosophy.” I can't speak highly enough of Jodi Boone & Heather Danso's restorative yoga teacher training. Their wealth of knowledge and passion for the practice is evident from the carefully prepared manuals to the thoroughness of the training itself. I was delighted that the experience was very interactive, and also that the weekend was a nice combination of learning and practicing. Jodi and Heather are both skilled teachers, and also gifted sound bath practitioners, and I felt so held and cared for throughout the training. There's a rare kindness and authenticity to their mutual approach that is so needed in the wellness community. By the end of the weekend, I felt really confident to transition from practicing restorative yoga to teaching it. |
