"This Restorative Teacher Training is an opportunity for teachers to not only take their own practice to a deeper level but also provides invaluable information which can be utilized immediately in one's work as a teacher in group classes or with private clients.   I can see it becoming a necessary component to any yoga teacher training program if one truly wants to provide a  physical and spiritual space where students feel supported, safe and nurtured."
