The Restorative Yoga Teacher Training is such a nourishing and nurturing course, that offers time and space to truly embody the restful qualities of the practice.
I feel confident to now deliver a rounded restorative class when I get home. I would recommend this course to others, I loved it!
The teachers are well rounded with wide range of knowledge. I love coming back knowing it’s a supportive and loving environment. I feel like I’m learning under the most perfect conditions.
The Yin Teacher Training at Byron Yoga Centre offered so much clarity, depth and wisdom. The TCM teachings were shared in such a systematic and digestable way and weaved in with the teachings of the physical postures really smoothly. There was so much space and time to voth embody the practice and to experience sharing Yin to students.
Great to stay with people in such a beautiful environment! Go for it! You’ll love it!
Thank you for everything, all staff and teachers! I love this environment so much!
I did my 200 HR teacher training here and it was seriously life changing. It is something I had wanted to tick off my bucket list as I have been doing yoga for years now. I finally took the plunge and am so proud of myself. It was a massive challenge, physically and mentally but so worth it. I couldn’t have done it without the support of the teachers and my fellow students. The centre is on the outskirts of town, making it feel removed from the buzz of Byron, but it is only a 10 min walk to town if we did want to grab a coffee, have a swim or explore. The food at the centre was awesome and I really feel like I took my yoga to the next level. Hats off to Byron Yoga Centre… just brilliant.
Pure love and gratitude for this sacred place.
I did my L1 Yoga Teacher Training , Yin Yoga, Certificate (current study) and weekend retreat with Byron Yoga Center. I couldn’t imagine a better place to deepen my understanding of yoga and my yoga path.
The teaching quality is outstanding, the whole place blends well into the nature, best vegan food in maybe Australia (I am biased?), and the pool really helps you relax, recharge and reset.
Recommendation to this divine plant with gorgeous people and lovely nature!
The instructors and retreat staff are what make this place on top off beautiful surrounds and an amazing Permaculture Garden. Whilst undertaking my yoga training and dealing with issues connected to my military service I was supported to ensure I met the requirements and also contributed substantially to my personal growth and resilience. The support from a number of the teachers was skilled and compassionate. Awesome 🙂 🙂 🙂
My wife did her level 1 yoga training here, loved the experience.
Found the fresh vegetables and salads grown in their own garden amazing.Magnesium saltwater pool very refreshing after a big day of yoga. Accomodation was pleasant and overall experience life changing, highly recommended.
Restorative Yoga is a wonderful way to address and balance many issues, including physical, mental and emotional. It can be a valuable tool to de-stress from our often hectic lifestyle, to assist those working with injuries, conditions such as high blood pressure, adrenal and chronic fatigue and is particularly useful for women’s health and for pregnant women. Restorative yoga uses supported postures that facilitate the passive release of tension stored in the body, activates that parasympathetic nervous system, and allows for deep, nourishing rest.
Many people confuse Yin and Restorative Yoga, for a detailed explanation see here.
You will receive a certificate of completion and this can be counted as 25 hours towards Byron Yoga Centre’s 300-hour Teacher Training Program.
This 25 hour training can be counted as your CPD (Continuous Professional Development) as required by Yoga Alliance (YACEP) and Yoga Australia.
The path to becoming a certified yoga teacher can be life-changing, and choosing the right yoga course is a big decision. One decision you will need to make is whether to complete your yoga teacher training course in person or opt for the online route.
