Mastering Rest
100 hour Yoga Teacher Training
An intimate and heart-led experience into the art of teaching Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Nidra.
Each training day begins with tea, meditation, and quiet reflection in my home—creating a calm, welcoming space where you can arrive as you are.
This training is grounded in a non-dogmatic approach. You’ll be invited to explore, question, and grow in a way that feels authentic to you. I honour all learning styles, combining embodied practice, thoughtful discussion, hands-on teaching, and supportive feedback—because everyone learns differently.
Accessibility is woven through every module, so whether you’re working with seniors, beginners, or those healing from burnout, you’ll feel confident creating inclusive, thoughtful spaces for Rest.
If you're ready to deepen your practice, grow as a teacher, and learn in a supportive environment—this training is for you.
The training is made up of 3 modules:
Module 1 - Restorative Yoga - 40 hours
Module 2 - Yin Yoga - 40 hours
Module 3 - Yoga Nidra - 20 hours
You can attend the full 100-hour teacher training or any chosen module(s).
Dates: Every second weekend from 20 September 2025 to 16 November 2025.
Location: Yoke Folkestone (46 Guildhall St, Folkestone CT20 1EE)
