Explore the healing art of Restorative Yoga and the power of therapeutic adaptations to asana. In this 30-hour immersion, you’ll learn how stillness, rest, and mindful support of the body can serve as medicine for the nervous system, helping to regulate stress, balance energy, and create a deeper sense of safety and ease within the body-mind.

Many students turn to yoga seeking relief from the demands of modern life. Yet for those managing stress, anxiety, injury, or chronic pain, even traditional asana can sometimes feel out of reach. In this training, we’ll explore how to bridge that gap, making yoga more accessible and effective for all bodies.

Through lecture, discussion, and hands-on practice, you’ll learn to skillfully incorporate props, sequencing, and breathwork to support the body in healing and restoration. You’ll experience firsthand the physiological effects of restorative postures and discover how to tailor these practices for specific physical, emotional, and energetic needs.

This advanced teacher training module explores the breath as both a physiological foundation for health and a powerful pathway toward energetic alignment and flow.

You’ll dive into the functional anatomy and physiology of breathing, examining the primary and secondary muscles of respiration, common dysfunctional patterns, and how imbalances impact energy levels, nervous system regulation, and overall resilience.

Through postural refinement, embodied movement, myofascial release, and conscious breath awareness, you’ll learn how to restore healthy breathing patterns in yourself and support your students in doing the same.

We’ll also explore the classical teachings of the five Vayus and the principle of Spanda, and how these subtle currents shape the experience of breath and energy. From there, we’ll study how prāṇa can be supported and guided through the Suṣumṇā and the network of subtle channels known as the Nāḍīs. You’ll learn how work with the bandhas to stabilize and direct prāṇic flow, helping to refine the movement of breath and deepen energetic awareness.

You’ll be introduced to foundational and advanced prāṇāyāma techniques and develop the skills to sequence and guide them safely and effectively within your teaching, with an emphasis on cultivating a breath-centric approach to yoga practice.

What You’ll Learn

• How the primary and secondary muscles of respiration function and how they shape breath patterns

• How to identify and unwind dysfunctional breathing habits through postural refinement, embodied movement, conscious breath awareness, and myofascial release

• How prāṇa moves through the five Vayus and the Nāḍīs, and how work with these pathways to promote balance in both the physical and subtle body

• The role of the bandhas in supporting structural stability and directing the flow of prāṇa

• How to safely sequence and teach foundational and advanced prāṇāyāma techniques

• How to design and teach breath-centric yoga classes, where breath is the organizing principle for pacing, sequencing, and cueing

What to Expect

This series is designed to support a slower, more integrated learning process, allowing you to absorb the material gradually, embody the practices, and apply them with confidence in your teaching and personal practice.

Each 3 hour session will include lecture, experiential breath labs, embodied movement, and time for reflection and discussion, all within a breath-centric framework.

Each participant will also receive a collection of video practices and guided breath explorations to support continued study and integration during and beyond our time together.

At the completion of this module, you’ll receive 20 hours of continuing education applicable toward This Land Yoga’s 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training or as Yoga Alliance CE hours.

We are living in a time when anxiety and nervous system dysregulation are at unprecedented levels. Increasingly, yoga students come to the mat not only for fitness, but for healing, resilience, and wholeness.

This specialized training empowers yoga teachers with a deeper understanding of the nervous system and its profound role in both practice and teaching. By weaving together modern neuroscience and ancient yogic wisdom, participants will learn how to guide students toward balance, transformation, and lasting well-being.

Teachers will explore how yoga supports anxiety, depression, and burnout through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience, and physiology. Alongside tools to support their students, they will also cultivate practical strategies for self-regulation, inner awareness, and equanimity.

Key Focus Areas:

• The Brain & Nervous System: Explore the core structures and functions of the brain and autonomic nervous system.

• The Vagus Nerve: Understand its role in regulating stress, relaxation, and emotional well-being, and learn practices that enhance vagal tone.

• The Stress Response: Study the science of stress and apply practical tools to down-regulate and restore balance.

• The Science of Breath: Investigate the physiology of breath and experiment with pranayama techniques to shift nervous system states.

• Neuroplasticity: Discover how yoga and meditation foster new neural pathways, supporting growth, healing, and long-term change.

• Embodied Teaching Applications: Learn sequencing strategies and class design methods that enhance safety, accessibility, and nervous system impact.

This 20-hour hybrid training will include both live & recorded lectures, experiential practices, and group discussions. Participants will embody the science of yoga while gaining the confidence to share it with clarity and purpose.

Through awareness, the subtle body shifts from an idea we study to an experience we feel. In this 30-hour immersion, Sensing and the Subtle Body, we explore how the classical teachings of yoga guide us toward refined perception and an ability to sense not only our physical form, but the living energy centers and channels that move through it.

This training offers an in-depth exploration of the chakra system, not only as symbolic theory, but as a direct, embodied experience. Using awareness as our guide, we’ll learn to sense, interpret, and work skillfully with these subtle energy centers as expressions of our individual life experience.

As we journey through each chakra, we’ll examine how energetic imbalances often manifest as physical holding patterns, postural tendencies, and protective tension w throughout the body. Through awareness-based inquiry and embodied movement sequences designed for each region, we’ll explore how conscious engagement and refined perception can help restore balance, promote the natural flow of energy, and begin to dissolve long-held patterns of protective armoring.

This immersion invites you to rediscover yoga as a process of inner sensing and undoing, where awareness becomes the bridge between body and energy, and consciousness the instrument of exploration.

What You’ll Learn

• How awareness refines and strengthens interoceptive and proprioceptive capacity

• The yogic principles of Pratyahara, Svādhyāya, and Śākṣī Bhāva as tools for embodied inquiry

• Understanding Samskara as patterned impressions that live in both the physical and subtle body

• How to experience and work skillfully with the chakras as living centers of awareness and energy

• How energetic imbalances can manifest physically and how embodied movement supports release and rebalance

• How to integrate visualization, embodied movement, and sensory awareness into your teaching

• Language and cueing that cultivate safety, sensation, and embodiment

• How to translate your own direct experience of awareness into an authentic and intuitive teaching style

What to Expect

Our time together blends education, exploration, and embodied experience. Each session includes embodied movement, conscious breath awareness, mantra practice, meditation, visualization, and reflective inquiry designed to deepen sensory awareness and refine perception.

Expect to slow down, tune in, and experience yoga as a practice of embodied awareness and inner listening.

By the end of this module, you’ll be equipped to:

• Teach from an embodied and awareness-based foundation

• Integrate yogic philosophy and subtle-body elements into your teaching

• Guide students through embodied movement and sensory awareness practices

Schedule

• Saturday, August 22: 8:00 AM – 5:00PM

• Sunday, August 23: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM

• Thursdays, August 20 & 27, September 3 & 10 : 5:30 – 8:30 PM

At completion, participants will receive 30 hours of continuing education applicable toward This Land Yoga’s 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training or as Yoga Alliance CE hours.
