RESTORATIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
with Alex Bauermeister and Brenna Matthews

Dive deep into the yoga of meditative rest, supported stillness, and nervous system soothing. In this training, Alex and Brenna will equip you with tools to hold profoundly healing space - for yourself and others. We offer these tools of self care, so that we can show up more fully in the world and contribute to collective care.

Over the course of 25 training hours, you will:

  • Experience, explore, and study foundational restorative yoga postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), and meditation tools (dhyana).

  • Practice guiding others in restorative yoga postures, including physical set-up, prop arrangement, and meditative cues.

  • Develop an understanding of how to hold a safer, more welcoming space for every body with a trauma-informed approach for more effective nervous system soothing.

  • Study your personal relationship to stillness, productivity, rest, and grind culture, to inform intentions in your own life, and what you bring to the world.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?

This training is for anyone looking to immerse themselves in restorative yoga, with an interest in teaching restorative poses to others. A previous yoga teacher training certificate is helpful but not required, as the elements of this training can be applied to all kinds of healing professions. You are also welcome to take this training to deepen your personal practice.

TUITION:

In support of increasing our awareness of collective care, JPCY offers tiered pricing which allows you to self-select the pricing options that best reflect your financial needs and resources in this moment. We are committed to addressing structural inequities that have historically existed in yoga spaces by creating a pricing model that reaches a wider range of students. The highest tier of this training is priced to reflect the market value for similar trainings in the Boston area. We ask those of you who can afford to invest in your learning at this tier to consider doing so - this pricing level contributes directly to the longevity of our small business and the livelihood of our teachers.

HOW TO CHOOSE A TIER:

  • Reflects an average market rate. It is intended for those who are able to support JPCY at the true cost of our offerings.

    This tier is suited for people with a stable income and access to food, housing, and healthcare, the ability to build savings and afford leisure activities (dining, traveling, etc).

  • Provides a more comfortable option for anyone who cannot afford the standrard rate.

    This tier is suited for people with unstable/reduced/low income that creates some stress about meeting basic needs.

  • Provides an even greater discount for those in need of greater financial assistance.

    This tier is suited for people with unstable or inadequate income that sometimes prevents access to food, housing, and healthcare.

  • In support of diversifying yoga leadership, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color registering for this training have the option to use the discount code wellnessequity and save 50% off the standard rate.

    We don’t assume that all who identify as BIPOC require or want financial support to access yoga. For those who do, we see this as step we can take towards offering reparations within a healthcare system that has predominantly failed communities of color.
