Modular Trainings
Byron Yoga Centre’s 50 and 25 hour Modular Trainings are designed to be stand alone specialty courses as well as being applicable to part of your 200 or 300 certificates. They fit particularly well as part of a Level 2 300 hour course. To be counted as part of a Level 1 or Level 2 the modular course must be undertaken after the residential intensive not before. These modular course hours can also be used for the ongoing professional development required each year by Yoga Alliance and other professional bodies. Or you could just do one because you want to learn more.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a wonderful way to address and balance many issues, including physical, mental and emotional. It can be a valuable tool to de-stress from our often hectic lifestyle, to assist those working with injuries, conditions such as high blood pressure, adrenal and chronic fatigue and is particularly useful for women’s health and for pregnant women. Restorative yoga uses supported postures that facilitate the passive release of tension stored in the body, activates that parasympathetic nervous system, and allows for deep, nourishing rest.
Many people confuse Yin and Restorative Yoga, for a detailed explanation see here
Course Overview
This course is suitable for both teachers and practitioners. The course is taught from an experiential platform so you will enjoy sessions in Restorative Yoga and practical workshops on the benefits of key poses. There will also be theoretical sessions on the teaching methodology and the anatomical aspects of Restorative Yoga. You will learn how to correctly use props, set up the postures and how to sequence classes or your own personal practice for maximum benefit. A key focus will be on how to structure a class and how to guide students through the practice with your voice and with hands on adjusting skills.
Course Content
In the residential course there will be an opportunity for practical teaching experience in the afternoons. Then the evening sessions will offer you time to relax and reconnect to yourself through guided meditation, pranayama and Yoga Nidra.
- Learn to practice and teach a range of key Restorative poses and variations
- Learn the benefits, contraindications and variations of each pose

Certificate of Attainment
If you attend all the sessions and classes, you will receive a certificate of completion. You can choose to opt out of classes but you will not only get the 25 Hour certificate if you attend all sessions.
This can be counted as 25 hours towards any Level 1 or Level 2 where you have already participated in the residential intensive.
This 25 hour training can be counted as your CPD (Continuous Professional Development) as required by Yoga Alliance (YACEP) and Yoga Australia.
