We know you can do more, but can you do less?

In a world that celebrates constant productivity, Restorative Yoga offers a profound antidote: the art of doing less and embracing silence.

Join us for this online Relax and Renew® training, co-taught by Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT, and her daughter, yoga teacher and content creator Lizzie Lasater. 

Together, they will guide you in learning the essentials of Restorative Yoga, a practice that fosters deep rest, healing, and the transformative power of silence.



What is Restorative Yoga?

Restorative Yoga is the use of props to create positions of ease and comfort that facilitate relaxation and health. 

This practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which governs essential functions like digestion, immunity, and hormone regulation. 

By fostering deep relaxation and integrating the power of silence, Restorative Yoga allows for profound recovery and a return to the body’s natural rhythms.



Why Take This Training?

Exhaustion has become an epidemic. Overwhelm, burnout, and chronic stress are signs that we’ve disconnected from ourselves. Restorative Yoga teaches us to reconnect. 

In this course, you’ll learn how to teach others to rest deeply—perhaps for the first time in their lives.



What You'll Learn:

  • The Physiology of Relaxation: Understanding how deep rest affects the nervous system.

  • Teaching Restorative Yoga: How to sequence and guide students into stillness with the 10 core poses of this practice.

  • Restorative Poses for Special Conditions: Menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.

  • Supporting Exhaustion Recovery: Practical tools for helping students recovering from burnout and chronic stress.



Who Should Join:

  • Yoga Teachers seeking to deepen their knowledge of Restorative Yoga.

  • Wellness Practitioners focused on stress reduction, trauma recovery, or holistic healing.

  • Anyone Seeking Rest who is struggling with burnout, exhaustion, or the pace of modern life.



Course Structure:

The course blends pre-recorded videos with eight live Zoom classes. 

Each live class includes a mix of lecture, demonstrations, partner work, and live Q&A with Judith and Lizzie.

Live Zoom Classes: March 10th, 12th, 14th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 24th, 26th

Classes runs from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM Pacific Time, with a 30-minute bio break.

Miss a Live Session? Don’t worry—every session is recorded. While live participation is encouraged, you can still fully engage with the course material by watching the recordings. 

(Note: Partner work takes place in private breakout rooms and therefore not recorded).



New for 2025: Relax and Renew® Mentorship Program

Ready to dive deeper? We're offering a Relax and Renew® Mentorship Program. This includes 10 additional Zoom sessions with Judith and Lizzie, running from April 2025 through February 2026.

The mentorship program is open to anyone who has previously taken Relax and Renew® Level 1 in person or online.

This is not equivalent to Relax and Renew® Level 2, but the mentorship program covers advanced topics in teaching Restorative Yoga, providing personalized guidance and ongoing support as you refine your teaching skills.

This program is perfect for those looking to deepen their knowledge and integrate Restorative Yoga more fully into their practice and teaching.
