This is mainly an in-person training so you can physically see and experience the poses. Teaching from an embodied place is essential in transmitting the richness of the practice. We will be in an intimate setting (limited to 12 students). The training is meant to be a space to learn but to also feel immense support and safety to rest for yourself. Some sections are online and can be completed at your own pace. Online sections are charged separately. To receive the full certificate, you will need to complete all sections (in-person and online) and homework assignments. You will be able to attend and assist restorative classes. A highlight of the training is attending the Restorative & Sound Healing Journey workshop (while you rest in poses, a guest instructor will use sound to add to your healing journey).

100% attendance is required for the in-person sessions as each section builds on the other. If you miss a session, you can book a private session to catch up. You’ll be charged an additional cost of $85 + HST per hour (if you missed 3–4 hours of work, this is usually covered in 1-2 hours). All online sessions can be completed at your own pace. To receive your certificate, all sessions must be completed within the year.

All the information you need will be in the manuals. We recommend a few books and the list is available on the Rooted in Natura online platform. However, these are not mandatory.

Books are recommended but not mandatory. You will receive access to 5 restorative classes during the training (free). You can print the manuals yourself or keep them digitally. If you wish for us to print them, there will be an additional $100 charge (roughly – you will be given receipts so you can write it off). If you do not have props, you will need to purchase them, however the studios do carry some props.

It’s highly recommended to take a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training as the training will lend skills to knowing the Sanskrit and English names of poses, how to observe alignment in poses, how to teach, and other skills. However, it is still a beautiful training to add to your other trainings and field of interest. If you wish to chat with Shanine to see whether it’s a good fit, please send her an email: [email protected].

Yes. This practice is beautiful for you to integrate into your life. If you already teach, you learn other poses to help a student transition in life and who perhaps need more rest.

Yoga Alliance is a governing body that ensures certain standards of teaching requirements and training programs. Once you complete the program and receive your certificate, you may submit it directly to Yoga Alliance for continuing education credits of 65 hours.

You have 1 year from your first in-person start date. All self-paced online courses need to be completed within that year, including submitting the final quizzes.

You will need to attend all 4 in-person weekends at the studio you registered with. You will also need to complete and pass the practice teach. The 2 self-paced online courses must be completed within 1 year of registering for your training (this includes submitting the open-book quizzes).

Homework is kept to a minimum. You will receive a homework sheet after each weekend, which highlights the poses covered during the weekend so you can learn and and practice them. You will also be asked to review the material covered, and explore your relationship with rest and stillness.
