ABOUT JUDITH:
Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D. and PT, has taught yoga since 1971. She holds
a senior teaching certificate from B.K.S. Iyengar and has taught in almost
every state of the union and many foreign countries. She is the author
of six books and the mother of three children.
THE WORKSHOP:
We work very hard in our lives, and while we may
sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses
help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely.
During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body
are benefited, and a few of the measurable results of deep
relaxation are the reduction of blood pressure, serum triglycerides
and blood sugar levels in the blood, the increase of the “good
cholesterol” levels, as well as improvement in digestion,
fertility, elimination, the reduction of muscle tension,
insomnia and generalized fatigue.
In this 20 hour workshop we will learn the
art and skill of teaching Restorative yoga. All aspects
of the subject will be covered, including the physiology
of relaxation, as well as the physical, emotional and spiritual
aspects of the subject, including special poses for menstruation,
pregnancy and menopause, and how to sequence and teach
a class in Restorative yoga. At this time, more than 850
teachers have been trained in Restorative yoga in the United
States, Japan, Canada and England.
REQUIREMENTS:
The workshop is open to all teachers and serious
students, However if you wish to become certified as a
Relax and Renew Trainer, you must fulfill the following:
