Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
An Introduction to Teaching Restorative Yoga
This program is designed for those who are looking for an immersive introduction to teaching Restorative Yoga.
This two-weekend immersion is designed to offer an Introduction to Teaching Restorative Yoga. Restorative Yoga is the yoga of Non-Doing. We support the poses with blankets, bolsters and other props to restore balance and ease.
When the body is fully supported, in a soothing and trusting environment, it will eagerly let go, releasing tensions and toxins. Judith Lasatar
We are a very active, highly stimulated culture. While we may sleep, we rarely take time deeply rest. Many of us dont even know how to completely relax. During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body are benefited. A few of the measurable results include the reduction of blood pressure and the improvement of immune function, as well as improvement in digestion, fertility, elimination, and the reduction of muscle tension and generalized fatigue.
This workshop includes:
- cooling pranayama: emptying breath, hissing breath, 3-part breath, square breath
- physiology of stress and relaxation
- sequencing restorative postures
- integrating postures with breathwork and guided imagery
- use of props: bolsters, blankets, blocks, chairs, sandbags, and eyebags
- creating a restful environment
I Ended The Training Feeling Confident And Empowered In My Abilities As A Teacher But I Also Left With So Much More
Before beginning my teacher training at Midtown Yoga, I had researched many local and international programs in hopes to gain knowledge on the different types and styles of training before committing to MY. I personally had high expectations for whichever teacher training course I would choose, and I can say without a doubt, I know I chose the right training for me.
I am not sure I will be able to say enough kind words about how thankful and appreciative I am for this experience. The time, effort, and energy put into creating this training course were so thorough and thoughtful. The breadth of topics we covered included, anatomy, Sanskrit, asana, assisting, philosophy, history, business, and so much more. But more importantly I feel that I have come home with the experiences, literature, and resources I need to continue to cultivate my personal practice and also, continue learning and growing to become a more experienced yoga teacher, as well as a better version of myself.
I am so humbled and grateful for this experience and the personal growth it has brought into my everyday life.

I Am Not Sure I Will Be Able To Say Enough Kind Words About How Thankful And Appreciative I Am For This Experience
MY Teacher Training is perfect for anyone who is trying to deepen their practice both on and off that mat, as well as share their practice with others through teaching. As a high schooler I was part of a dance studio that was my home away from home. Ever since then I have craved that bond with others…till now.
I found my family away from home and a group of women who love me for all that I am. I laughed, cried, and was vulnerable. At the end of this training, we all found our voice and our passion for yoga on and off the mat deepened.

Allison Broughton 500ryt + 200eryt + Yacep

Allison came to yoga over 20 years ago for the physical practice, and stayed for the calm, clarity, and peace of mind she found there. She enrolled in her first 200-hr yoga teacher training primarily to deepen her own practice, but after completing the program with Amalam School at Outer Banks Yoga, she couldnt wait to share her newfound knowledge with others, and immediately began teaching.
In 2017, Allison attended a workshop with Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy founder Michael Lee at Satchidananda Ashram Yogaville, and was inspired by the Phoenix Rising method of tuning into the body to stay present and aware, allowing attention to temporarily shift away from the constant hum of the narrative mind and toward the present-moment experience. The method worked for her, and Allison enrolled in Phoenix Risings 500-hr yoga teacher training in January of 2018. She completed the program in August 2019.
Allison is a strong believer in the benefits of yoga as an adjunct to treating addiction, eating disorders, stress, and anxiety, as well as yogas overall benefits to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. She has trained in Yoga for 12-Step Recovery and is certified in Restorative Yoga.

We All Found Our Voice And Our Passion For Yoga On And Off The Mat Deepened
This training was more than I could have asked for–plenty of guidance, encouragement, and feedback. I left the training more confident than when I started, and I’m filled with sadness knowing I won’t be seeing all of the smiling faces that I spent so much time with and the loving instructors who guided my cohort through these life-changing 8 weeks. If you sign up for teacher training, prepare to be forever changed.
