About the Course

Relaxation and rest is an innate part of human living, to heal, to grow, to rejuvenate, to re-vitalise, to restore harmony, to re-establish centeredness in our living and being. In a demanding and fast-paced environment, many often equate ‘busy-ness’ with meaning or purpose in life, whilst rest is often disregarded. Rest is a state where the body and mind take a pause from stimulation, to recalibrate and restore equanimity. Rest is not a luxury. It is an essential process for establishing harmony at the physical, emotional and mental level. It is for survival, vitality and longevity. It is an important ingredient for peace and joy in life. The intention of this 6 week online course is to introduce the practice of relaxation and deep rest for health and vitality (physical, emotional and mental). This course offers a step-by-step guide to understanding and practising restorative yoga, a great start to integrating relaxation and rest into one’s home practice as well as into general yoga classes for those who teach public or private classes.
