50-Hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Katie Rose
Subtle Anatomy, Prana & The True Essence of Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is one of the most misunderstood and poorly taught branches of yoga. Often mistaken for Yin Yoga, it is rarely presented in alignment with its true Vedic roots and yogic subtle anatomy. This 50-hour teacher training is an immersion into the depth, precision, and intelligence of restorative yoga, not as a passive practice, but as a profound science of prana, energetic balance, and inner awakening.
At the heart of this training is prana, the guiding intelligence of life itself. When we learn to feel prana and respond to its movement within us, we awaken an inner guidance system (human Sat Nav!) that leads us beyond external techniques into the true essence of yoga. We do not need to look outside of yoga’s lineage and teachings to understand how energy moves through the body.
While Yin Yoga works within the Chinese meridian system, restorative yoga aligns deeply with the wisdom of Vedic philosophy, yogic subtle anatomy, and Ayurveda, offering a complete and holistic framework for working with prana. This is primarily an asana-based training, enriched with subtle anatomy experiential practices and theory. We will explore the full methodology of restorative yoga, deepening both personal practice and teaching skills.
What you'll learn:
🌀 Restorative asana in depth—a detailed study of 15 key postures, including prop use and adaptations.
🌀 How to use props skilfully—understanding their role in support, energetic alignment, and deep release.
🌀 Sequencing for integration—how to weave restorative postures into a regular vinyasa or hatha class.
🌀 Sequencing for stand-alone restorative classes—crafting practices that are intelligent, effective, and energetically aligned.
🌀 Prana as guiding intelligence—how to sense, trust, and follow its movement for awakened yoga practice.
🌀 Understanding Kundalini—the fire that animates the 'fire pit' bowl within the body and how to work with it.
🌀 How dormant and activated energy manifests—recognising and guiding pranic movement.
🌀 Prana follows attention—how your focus directs life force and transforms inner experience.
🌀 The chakras beyond pop spirituality—as prana (energy), tattva (elemental/physical reality), and samskara (mental & emotional imprinting).
🌀 The balance of Pingala (masculine) and Ida (feminine) channels—how they shape mind, body, and practice.
🌀 Ayurveda & restorative yoga—how to adapt practice for different doshas (individual constitutions).
🌀 Stillness as the meeting point of mind and heart—where meaning and feeling unite, and true yoga begins.
Who this training is for:
✔️ Yoga teachers looking to refine their understanding and gain CPD-accredited certification.
✔️ Serious students of yoga who want to go beyond the surface and work with energy in a meaningful way.
