Level 1 Restorative Yoga Teacher Training – Course Details
About this course
Practice and teach Restorative Yoga the Feminine Way as a Specialist Women’s Restorative Yoga Teacher. This course is designed to support women, including those who work with women and/or identify as women.
Stress is an epidemic in our modern world and is the cause of many illnesses. That’s why a Feminine Approach to Restorative Yoga is so therapeutic. It helps to balance our nervous system, bring it back to a point of equilibrium and our body-mind to optimum health and vitality. Restorative Yoga can help many chronic stress-related conditions like Adrenal Fatigue, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autoimmune diseases, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances. It’s also a wonderful practice for any body who needs a little more rest and restoration in their lives—ie: every body!!
Restorative Yoga is a form of ‘active relaxation’ which involves the artful use of yoga props to create supported, therapeutic variations of the classical yoga postures. In this comprehensive online course created by Senior Yoga Teacher and Bliss Baby Yoga Director, Ana Davis, you’ll be introduced to this subtle yogic art and learn the basics in practising and teaching Restorative Yoga postures and sequences.
You’ll grow your understanding of how to adopt a Feminine Approach to Restorative Yoga, including how to work with your own and your students’ natural energies, how to support women’s health, monthly and life-cycles, and how to use your understanding of Ahimsa (kindness towards the self and others), both on and off the mat.
In this practical and accessible course Ana shares her passion for and wealth of experience in this therapeutic approach to yoga that has so many applications for female and male students alike.

For Yoga Australia members, 12 CPD points (Continuing Professional Development) must be accrued each year to keep your membership active. These can be accrued through contact or non-contact hours of study. Our Online L1 Restorative Yoga Teacher Training course is made up of non-contact hours of study, however as our course includes an assessment component (final case study assignment), for Yoga Australia members (as per their Continuing Education Policy) the hours spent completing our course are counted as contact hours, core to yoga teaching (1 point per hour).

- 45 hours teaching yoga, and

FAQ: If I want to be able to teach Restorative Yoga classes, do I have to already be a qualified yoga teacher to enrol in your online course?
Our Bliss Baby Yoga training courses are designed as post-graduate study for qualified yoga teachers, and are not alone designed to qualify graduates to teach restorative yoga classes to the public if they are not yet a qualified yoga teacher (having completed a minimum Level 1 / 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training).
The prerequisite to enrol in our courses is at least 6-12 months consistent prior yoga practice experience – so that you are familiar with the basic postures / practices / terminology and can therefore gain the most from this training. We strongly recommend undertaking a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training in addition to our specialised teaching before teaching any public classes, so that you can be insured as a qualified yoga teacher.
FAQ: Is your Restorative Yoga training aimed at Prenatal / Postnatal students, or for teaching general Restorative Yoga classes?
This course is designed to equip yoga teachers with the specific skills and knowledge to teach specialised Restorative Yoga classes to female and male students of all ages and backgrounds. You will also learn how to incorporate Restorative Yoga postures into your general yoga classes.
If your particular area of interest is women’s yoga (including prenatal / postnatal yoga) we recommend our Online L1 Restorative Yoga Teacher Training + Prenatal & Postnatal Restorative Online Yoga Class bundle package.

This course consists of 3 modules. Each module consists of a varied and stimulating mix of audio lectures, video-lectures, sample video classes, and accompanying reading from the course manuals. Have your yoga mat and props* at the ready to practice the postures yourself for an embodied experience. The focus of this course is on ‘experiential learning’ so that you can experience the recommended practices yourself prior to teaching them.
*We recommend having the following props to get the most out of completing this course:

- Three yoga blankets, or if not available, thick bath/beach towels or Mexican blankets

At the end of each module there are short quizzes (see below under “Course Assessment Requirements”) to keep you engaged and ensure you’re integrating the information we’re giving you, and to help you prepare for the learning to come in the next module.
Course Assessment Requirements
At the end of each module you will be required to complete a short quiz that helps you solidify the learning. An 80% pass mark is required, but don’t worry, the quizzes are multiple choice/ true-false and you can re-do the quiz as many times as you need to.
At the end of the course content you will be required to complete a Restorative Yoga ‘case study’ written assignment (with sample case studies provided). Upload this to the website (very easy) and one of our Bliss Baby Yoga online course facilitators will mark it, provide feedback and return it to you.

The beauty of this online option of the Bliss Baby Yoga L1 Restorative Yoga Teacher Training is that you can complete it in your own time, to fit around your other commitments. The total course hours that will be recorded on your Completion Certificate are 28 hours—this is what we estimate it will take you to complete this course, including the sample practices, reading, journaling, and completing your final assignment.
Because we understand that you’re fitting this course around other commitments that may include yoga teaching, working, or being a parent, you have 12 months to complete this course, and the information and resources in this course downloadable (yours to keep forever). How you pace your study-load, that’s up to you, and what works best for your lifestyle.

HOW DO I ENROLL & GET STARTED?
1: Register
Register and pay the full course fee, or select a payment plan. You can pay securely online via Credit Card or PayPal. (Note: that you don’t need your own Paypal account, you can pay via ‘guest checkout’ if you select this option).
2: Access
Once your payment has been confirmed, you’ll receive an email with your log-in details and a direct link to go ahead and log-in. (You can also always log in directly on our website using the “Log In” link in the top right hand corner.)
If this is not your first purchase on our site, you’ll receive a reminder email with your log in details for the account you already have with us. Once you log in to the site, you’ll be directed to your member page where you can access your course and get started!
(Note: if you have previously purchased other courses or classes with us, you’ll be able to conveniently see and access all of your courses here in the member section of the website)
3: Learn
Enjoy the learning— a juicy mix of video and audio lectures, video demonstration classes, and a slew of informative and inspiring reading and notes!
You can work at your own pace, and because we appreciate that you may be busy juggling teaching, parenting, and/or other work with your study, you have one full year from your date of enrolment to access and complete our courses and download all resources included within the course to keep forever for future reference. Our courses are designed to fit around your busy life.
Navigating your way through the course is simple and easy, but if you have any questions or issues at any time, we are only an email away!
In addition to homework tasks and extension reading/ viewing, after each module of the course you will be required to complete a short quiz that helps you consolidate your learning.
4: Class Plan & Teaching Assignment
Once you’ve completed all of the course modules, you’ll reach the Themed Class Plan & Teaching Assignment section of the course. This is a fun, rewarding exercise that helps you pull all the key knowledge together to help you feel confident in sequencing and teaching Restorative Yoga classes.
Complete your Themed Class Plan in your own time and then simply upload your assignment through the online course portal, via our website.
5: Live Video Call (1:1)
Once you’ve uploaded the Themed Class Plan assignment, one of our Senior Bliss Baby Facilitators will mark your assignment and will be in contact (usually within 7 – 10 days) to schedule your personal Video Call Mentoring Session.
In your 1 hour Video Call Mentoring Session with your Bliss Baby Yoga Facilitator, you will complete a practical teaching exercise, and receive constructive feedback on your written class plan and prac, and this is also your opportunity to field any questions you may have about any of the content in the course.
Our online students report that they get so much out this one-on-one time with their course Facilitator.
6: Completion Certificate
After finishing your video call you’ll be prompted to complete a Feedback Form on the website and then, congratulations! You’re done! You will receive your course Completion Certificate that you can either print out or keep digitally to send to registration bodies (eg: Yoga Alliance / Yoga Australia) to gain all-important CPD (Continuing Professional Development Points). And you will then be ready to confidently and safely teach Restorative Yoga.
