Rest & Reclaim Pop-Up Class and Info Session
Join Samantha Saldivar for an evening dedicated to deep relaxation and discovering the path to becoming a Restorative Yoga teacher. This event is perfect for dedicated students, existing yoga teachers, and anyone who feels called to share the profound healing benefits of rest with their community.
Event Details
Date: Wednesday, December 10th
Location: Be the Change
Investment: $25 per person
Special Offer: If you enroll in the Rest & Reclaim Teacher Training on the day of the event, your $25 class fee will be credited toward your full tuition!
Part 1: Rest & Reclaim Pop-Up Class (6:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
Experience a full hour of supported, deep relaxation that will guide your nervous system into the parasympathetic "rest and digest" state. This class will feature the generous use of props and a focus on the key elements of a truly restorative environment: still, quiet, dark, and warm.
Part 2: Rest & Reclaim Info Session (7:00 PM – 7:30 PM)
Immediately following the class, those interested in learning more about the teacher training are invited to stay for a casual Q&A session.
When it comes to teaching yoga, the WHAT you teach will always guide the HOW you teach. And, when it comes to teaching, HOW we sequence, and WHAT we teach is inextricably connected to the way, our students feel in their body, mind, and heart.
Whether you focus on particular category of poses, anatomical actions, an energetic idea or a philosophical concept, HOW you put it all together and WHAT you prioritize will become who you are as a teacher and your way of communicating what Yoga is to your student and self.
In this 2 hour lecture-based and interactive session, you will learn, share, and put in the brain power needed to recognize patterns and set into motion a lifelong relationship with sequencing.
Open to all Yoga and wellness professionals.
