There are countless studies referring to the rising numbers of people who suffer from issues related to stress and for this "stress response" to be overactive, affecting overall health. Restorative Yoga plays an important role in balancing the central nervous system, reducing stress, alleviating pain, deepening awareness, resting deeply, boosting the immune system, cultivating mental focus and overall health, and calming the mind and body, among many other benefits.

“I had never met Deanna, nor anyone at her studio when I decided to take her Kurma Restorative Yoga Certification. I’d never even been to New Jersey. I decided I couldn’t wait for this certification to be offered by someone near me, so I booked a flight, a hotel, a rental car, and I traveled the 1,000 miles to Chester. I walked in about 15 minutes late, nervous, and having traveled MANY hours that day. Deanna’s caring and compassionate disposition put me at ease as she trained me to bring Restorative Yoga to my students. In my 14 years of practicing and teaching, I have never experienced compassion and love like Deanna pours onto those who are privileged to know her. In 3 short days she brought me on a journey that I wasn’t expecting. One where I learned to love and trust myself more. One that ended with me opening my own studio after 12 years of teaching for someone else. Restorative Yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down, opening up, and allowing yourself to completely relax and rest. Whether you are looking to add more restorative elements to your current curriculum, or a dedicated Restorative Yoga class, this training will deepen your understanding of the stress-relieving and healing elements of Yoga. Try a class. Take a certification course. You won’t regret it.” ~ Cassandra Sykes
