50 Hour Online
Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
Restorative Yoga poses help us learn the art of relaxation, so we can rest deeply and completely. It is a soothing, nurturing and slow paced practice that offers us the healing benefits of rest. During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the entire body are rejuvenated. The measurable effects of Restorative Yoga, include: decrease in blood pressure, improved digestion, decreased incidence of insomnia and generalized fatigue, and so much more!
In this 50 Hour program, you will learn the art and skill of teaching Restorative Yoga. All aspects are addressed, including the physiology of relaxation, as well as the mental, emotional and physical effects of Restorative Yoga. You’ll learn everything you need to know in order to confidently sequence and teach Restorative Yoga online or in-person.
We invite you to discover your stillness!

This was a wonderful, insightful program and another training I could add to my teaching portfolio. The videos are so well done, that it makes the online learning experience seamless. Looking forward to taking my Yin training next!

Curriculum & Evaluation
Curriculum
Like all Registered Yoga Schools, our yoga teacher training program is required to offer a curriculum reflective of the essential components. Within these requirements is where prospective students will find differences in how the curriculum is delivered.
Our curriculum has an intense focus on traditional training. In addition, our program offers variety in many areas of yoga and yogic lifestyle to ensure authentic yoga programming. We believe in cultivating teachers, not instructors.
The program is taught by 4 members of our faculty, collectively. This allows for a vast breadth of knowledge and to be able to experience different perspectives.
Modules of our Curriculum include:

Frequently Asked Questions
We know that deciding which program to choose is challenging. We believe in transparency and have addressed potential questions you may have. This is a great way to decide if this is the program for you. Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions.
In this changing climate, is online programming now recognized with Yoga Alliance?
This is the question on everyone's mind. The answer is, YES!
Yoga Alliance has now approved all online programming permanently.
Is this program just for people who want to teach Restorative Yoga?
Absolutely not! Anyone wishing to delve deeper into their practice is welcome to join us. The skills and tools you learn in the program can be applied to many aspects of life. Yoga does not just happen on the mat ~ it happens in every moment!
What certification will I receive upon successful completion?
This program qualifies you for 50 Continuing Education credits and is a recognized program under our YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) designation with Yoga Alliance.
You will also be certified as a Restorative Yoga Teacher.
Is this course suitable for beginners or people without any yoga experience?
Anyone can opt to take this program, but we highly suggest beginners start with the 200 Hour Online Yoga Training ~ Level 1 program. That program will provide you with a solid foundation for the unique practice offered in this program.
Is age an issue?
Yoga knows no age and it is never too late or too early to start. All students must be a minimum of 18 years of age to take the program, but from there on everyone is welcome. If it is any inspiration, our oldest graduate (Khatun Dhamji, December 2012) was in her late 70’s!
How physically fit do I have to be? What if I have mobility issues?
We welcome you, where you are. What that means is that not every student will always be able to do every single pose. It is about learning how to teach the pose, even if you have limitations physically, which prevent you from demonstrating. Our program is not about trendy yoga. It is about learning, with the notion that we are all perfectly imperfect.
Do I need to be fluent in English?
We welcome students from all backgrounds and ethnicities. All students should be fairly fluent in the English language (reading, writing & speaking).
Will my teaching certificate be recognized, globally?
Absolutely! We have students from the U.K., Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Canada, U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and more!
Do I automatically graduate, or receive a certificate if I pay for the course?
No. In order to successfully graduate from any training program we offer, you must successfully meet the graduation criteria. It serves no purpose for us to simply pass students who are not ready or able to teach yoga. It is unfair to you, to the public you may teach, and to the integrity of our programming.
No need to be anxious. All items on each evaluation will be covered in advance and our goal is to ensure you are prepared. Your success is our success!
Will I be able to confidently teach Restorative Yoga classes upon completion of this program?
This online yoga teacher training program has been designed to help you learn all types of techniques to ensure you can teach Restorative Yoga classes safely and with confidence.
Can these program hours be allotted towards hours for my 300 Hour certification?
Yes, these are credits that work towards your 300 Hour Certification, that you take through our school.
Combining this course with other programs, taken outside of our school cannot be used towards your 300 Hour certification.
Any student who is looking to be certified as a 300 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, must have completed the 200 Hour ~ Level 1 program as a pre-requisite. If you have completed your 200 Hour program with another RYS (Registered Yoga School), we will accept that as your pre-requisite. Upon registration, we will ask you to provide a copy of the certification.
If you are considering 300 Hour programming, please view details here.
Are there any live sessions in the program?
No, the entire program is on-demand.
Do I require an internet connection while taking the program, or can I view lectures offline?
Yes, you will require a reliable internet connection as the entire program is web-based. Video content is not downloadable for offline viewing.
You will also require the most up-to-date version of the Google Chrome browser. Our programming is most compatible with this browser.
What does self-paced, on-demand learning mean?
What this means is that the program does not require any group study, or attending particular tutorials at specific points in the training. You set the pace for your learning. You move through the curriculum when and as you want. Students can go back and review sections as many times as needed. The entire program is pre-recorded so that it is on-demand, available to you, always.
If the program is on-demand, what opportunities are there for faculty support and interaction with other students?
We have four key tools and resources that we provide to students to ensure they have a truly interactive and engaging experience.
- The program has an internal Q&A forum where students engage with one another and faculty throughout the program.
- We have a private FB Group for alumni and faculty - it has hundreds of members. This platform is active daily with interaction between peers and teachers alike.
- Each month, faculty holds a live Q&A session. If you are not available at the set time, you may submit questions prior to the session and they will be addressed. It is recorded and made available to all students.
- We have a dedicated Student Support Centre staffed by faculty and our administration team. This is available 7 days a week.
- Each week, a faculty member holds a Live, Student Development session. If you cannot join in live, that's ok. All sessions are recorded for you to watch anytime!
- Also, each week, a faculty member holds a Live, Yoga Practice. If you cannot join live, that's ok. You can always watch the replay on-demand.
As you can see, you will never be left without the ability to reach us and have your questions and queries addressed. We understand how important support is for online learning.
Once I begin the program, how long do I have to complete it?
From the time you register, you will have lifetime access to complete any programming we offer.
The beauty of our online yoga teacher training is that it is a completely self-paced program - you decide when you start and when you finish. Ideally, working through the program without large gaps in time works best, but we appreciate that life is complicated.
How long will it take me to complete the program? Will it take 50 hours?
How long it takes, is really up to you and will depend on your availability. This program will take 50 hours, so work on a schedule that makes learning and life workable for you.
Does my access to the digital course materials expire?
No, you will have full access to updates and revisions, even if you have completed the program. Many of the resources in the program are also downloadable, so those are yours to keep always.
If I am pregnant, can I take this program?
Many of our students are pregnant or planning to have a child soon. We begin each program with a clear outline of what modifications need to happen. Yours and your baby's well-being are our first priority.
When I go to purchase the course, I notice a price difference. Why is that?
If you are in the UK or the EU, there will be an automatic addition for the VAT taxes. The system recognizes that your device's IP address is located in these countries. Because of tax treaty laws, we cannot amend that. If you are in other areas, such as Canada or the US, there will be a different tax applied, depending on where you are located. Certain jurisdictions, do not have taxes. Also, any and all taxes collected are on behalf of the governments, and do not come to us directly; they are remitted directly, to the applicable jurisdiction.
Why do prices vary so much from one school to another?
This is an excellent observation! We know that price points vary all around the globe. Because these are not live, in-person trainings, any school that charges in excess of $2,000 is selling at an unethical price ~ they know it, and so should you. As you review programs, you will know where you feel most comfortable. We always say, listen to your intuition, it is never wrong.
Why am I required to join the online yoga class streaming platform?
The online streaming platform, at $10 USD per month, is a tool we use while you are actively engaged in the program. A very small percentage (2%-3%) of the program is accessed via this platform. Once you have completed the program, you are free to cancel that. You can also place your access on hold at any time you are taking a break from your training program. Most students find the platform extremely helpful after they have completed the program, but the choice is yours!
What does the evaluation process look like?
There is one Online Written Exam (multiple choice questions).
If you have completed your coursework, you will be successful in the written exam.
What course materials are included in my fees?
- Lifetime access to the online curriculum (quizzes, videos, lectures, chants, resources, etc.)
- Access to our private FB Group of students, alumni, and teachers.
- Ongoing faculty support. Once you have finished your program, we would welcome you to reach out whenever you need to.
What course materials are not included in my fees?
- Your Yoga Flow Online Video Yoga Class Platform | All students will receive a specific promotional pricing code when they enroll. The cost will be approximately $10 USD per month.
What payment forms do you accept?
Visa and Mastercard
For all payments processed, we are committed to utilizing the highest grade of security available for payment processors. We will never have direct access to your financial details.
Are there any hidden fees for the program?
Absolutely not! We take pride in being transparent about the full cost of the program. We will never charge you more if we decide to add new resources to the program.
All pricing is listed in US dollars and payments will automatically be converted to US dollars if you are paying with another currency.
