Meet Bel
Bel first fell in love with restorative Yoga in her own personal practice more than 15 years ago. She gained her official qualification in this discipline 4 years ago under the tutelage of Adelene Cheong.
Since this time, Bel has enjoyed sharing the practice with our regular community, teaching aspects of this style to YTTC200 students, and crafting deeply nourishing workshops and retreats in which she weaves in other skills and passions, such as sound healing and menopause education.
What you will learn
Anyone who has practiced this style before, probably has an inkling already that the art of Rest, forms an essential aspect of our well-being. Recognising that rest supports good physiological functioning and fosters healing and growth, this course has been developed to explore the science and techniques employed by Restorative Yoga to promote a deep and lasting connection to ourselves.
This immersive experience unfolds over 20 hours of study and practice, aiming to provide students with the confidence, skills and experience to practice active relaxation and share this transformative practice with others.
