GoodYoga

Join me for some profound rest.

In a world that rewards nonstop doing, learning to rest is a transformative practice. Join us for a calming 4‑part series designed to help you reconnect with the power of deep, intentional rest through the ancient practice of Savasana.
Each 75 minute session combines a brief, accessible teaching on the science and philosophy of rest with a minimum of 45 minutes of guided Savasana. In each session you’ll explore tension release, nervous-system regulation, and restorative breathwork—all while experiencing profound stillness and renewal.
This series is perfect for anyone feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or simply craving more peace and ease. No experience is needed; every body is welcome.
Give yourself permission to pause. Rest intentionally. Restore deeply.

The Sacred Art of Savasana: Profound Rest for Challenging Times

This 16-hour teacher training equips facilitators to teach one of the most needed skills in yoga right now: how to guide people into true rest.

We live in a culture — and are moving through a moment — defined by chronic stress, overstimulation, and nervous systems that rarely get the chance to fully power down. Rest is no longer a luxury; it’s a physiological necessity, and most people have simply lost the ability to access it on their own. That’s where skilled teachers come in. Holding space for deep rest is its own discipline — it takes trauma-informed awareness, a steady presence, and the ability to create real safety in a room — and it deserves the same rigor and intention we bring to teaching a strong asana class.

This training prepares facilitators to teach restorative rest practices with confidence, create safe and trauma-informed environments, and guide extended Savasana sessions grounded in both yogic philosophy and modern nervous system science.

Participants learn:

Rest Physiology and Nervous System Literacy

Trauma-Sensitive Language

Cueing Fundamentals

Space-Holding and Energy Modulation

Sequencing and Class Structure

Ethics and Scope of Practice

Hands-Off and Minimal-Touch Approaches

How to Guide Long-Form Savasana Experiences

Saturday, September 26th and Sunday, September 27th

Get to teach The Mat Yoga Studio this morning and rolling out the knots from the week with The Roll Model® Method techniques and some Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD learning at the end. Grateful to still be a part of this community at 16 years and counting. 💕

Grateful for time on my mat at The Monarch in Hart this morning with Nathanael Rosenheim

I love taking classes with newbie teachers… the enthusiasm and energy that comes with being a freshly minted teacher is so much fun. Lovely movement and community here in Hart Township. Cindy Beth Davis-Dykema has started something really special here.

Heading away from the Texas heat tomorrow… vacation mode starts at 5pm today. There will be NO WEDNESDAY CLASS on 7/22 or 7/29. See you on the flip side!

So very true.

These amazing humans were brave, generous, and attentive to their learning and each other. So grateful to have spent the weekend in their company. #
