Before you guide rest, you need to experience it in your own body

Restorative Yoga is not about stretching, fixing, or pushing the body.

It is about creating the conditions for the nervous system to soften, downregulate, and shift toward repair, restoration, and clarity.

That is why this training begins with you.

Before teaching Restorative Yoga responsibly, you need more than a few poses or beautiful setups.

You need to understand what this practice is doing, why it works, and how to experience its effects from the inside.

In this foundational training, you will begin to build that understanding through both study and practice.

Who this training is for

This training is for you if:

  • you are a yoga teacher and want to integrate Restorative Yoga with more clarity, safety, and depth

  • you feel called to teach Restorative Yoga, but want a strong foundation before guiding others

  • you want a structured path rather than collecting poses without understanding the method behind them

  • you are a dedicated practitioner ready to commit to a consistent and meaningful restorative practice

  • you are drawn to a therapeutic, nervous-system-based approach to yoga


No previous experience in Restorative Yoga is required.

Only curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to slow down and learn deeply.

What you'll gain from this training

Over six weeks, you will:

  • build a clear and consistent personal Restorative Yoga practice

Restorative Yoga Expert Audrey Favreau

Audrey Favreau is a certified Restorative Yoga teacher, senior trainer, and international educator. Her teaching is rooted in the lineage of Judith Hanson Lasater and informed by neuroscience, functional anatomy, and therapeutic practice, with a strong focus on nervous system regulation. Originally from France, Audrey now lives in the quiet Monferrato Hills of Italy, where she teaches and guides others in the art of slowing down, reconnecting with the body, and cultivating deep, sustainable rest. After a high-stress career in banking, she discovered Restorative Yoga in Bali in 2012 — a turning point that reshaped both her personal life and her professional path. Since 2015, she has trained more than 1,200 students and supported hundreds of teachers in integrating Restorative Yoga into their classes, therapeutic work, and daily lives. Audrey is also the author of The Teacher’s Guide to Restorative Yoga, to be published in English by North Atlantic Books in June 2026. Her work is already available in French (Le Yoga Restauratif, Éditions Grancher) and in Italian (Restorative Yoga: ritrova la calma, gestisci ansia, rabbia e depressione, Edizioni Mediterranee). Through her courses and trainings, she shares Restorative Yoga as a precise, compassionate, and powerful practice — one that supports resilience, clarity, and a more respectful relationship with the body.
