Self-Care Series - Restore

In order to wake up, we must rest well. When we deprive the body, mind, and heart of much needed rest, care, and healing, it’s easy to turn away from fulfilling our most fundamental duty—to be healthy and to be kind. The possibility to give back, for our lives to be of purpose, to live by the foundational principles of Yoga, and the possibility to honor those who came before us—and who paved the path so lovingly with sacrifice and effortless giving—begins with rest. Prioritize, prescribe, and practice deep rest, a much-needed reboot to restore yourself with my hand-picked practices inspired by the teachings of my Guru’s ancestral lineage.

This course is designed for current times where time is of the essence and accessibility is a must. Apart from this, the participant will learn a variety of techniques and have access to diverse tools. This is to make sure that we start from where we are comfortable and ready. The trainer’s philosophy is “The participant is welcome at their own pace.”

Is it a specific style of Yoga that will be taught in the course?

Indu Arora, the trainer of the course, is equipped with the knowledge and practice of Kriya Yoga, Himalayan Yoga, Sivananda Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism, Bhakti Yoga, Yoga Therapy, and Ayurveda. She combines the wisdom of all these streams in her trainings, workshops, and courses.

Will I be able to apply this information to my classes or sessions if I am a yoga teacher or yoga therapist?

Absolutely, you can. That is the goal—to learn, apply, and share in this order. It is suggested and crucial that we first apply the teachings to understand and support our own growth and emotions. This allows us to share with integrity, truthfulness, and from a place of realization.

Yes! Currently, Yoga Alliance is accepting all continuing education completed online. This includes both contact and non-contact hours.

Yoga mat, any props (as needed for your own practice), journaling notebook, and mediation cushion is the basic tool check for each session. Check the other required/recommended books and tools in the course description section.
