Over the weekend we will:

• Explore therapeutic movement and restorative sequences that offer care for all systems of the body.

Spa Yoga is a softer, intentional approach that blends yoga, therapeutics, and mindfulness to create a nourishing experience for both teacher and student. This training is about slowing down, refining awareness, and discovering from the inside out.

Past attendees have come from all types of industries: physiotherapists, lawyers, counsellours, school teachers, yoga studio owners and those who simply want to advance their education for personal reasons. If you have a keen interest in exploring slower (yet creative) practices and nourishment for the nervous system, I guarantee there is something in this course for you.
