Restorative Yoga Teacher Training

This weekend series is an experiential exploration of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra. It invites you to slow down, listen inwardly and rediscover rest as a lived, embodied experience.

Across three carefully sequenced sessions, you’re supported to arrive, understand restlessness, and finally enter stillness, through practices that work with the body, the nervous system and awareness itself.

The sessions

Rest XL: Enveloped in a Restful Evening

An extended, practice-based Restorative Yoga session drawn from Adelene’s personal practice and decades of teaching. Sustained, fully supported postures reduce effort, quieten sensory input and let the nervous system settle naturally. With minimal movement and generous time in each pose, you experience what it means to be held without having to do anything.

It stands alone as a nourishing evening, or opens the weekend. Suitable for all levels, and especially supportive for fatigue, overwhelm and stress.

The Quiet Within: Restorative Yoga for a Restless Mind

A day-long workshop on how mental agitation, emotional load and nervous system fatigue show up in practice and teaching. Through sustained supported poses, subtle somatic practices and guided inquiry, you learn how Restorative Yoga can settle mental noise and build resilience over time.

You’ll learn to recognise when restlessness is physiological rather than psychological, and how support, pacing and stillness can restore regulation and clarity. Suitable for practitioners, teachers and anyone curious about rest.

Entering Stillness: Restorative Yoga and iRest® Yoga Nidra

A day-long immersion in two complementary practices. Restorative Yoga quietens the body and creates the conditions for rest and repair. Yoga Nidra, practised through the iRest® method, is guided conscious rest: rather than inducing sleep, it supports self-regulation, integration and ease.

The weekend closes not with effort or instruction, but with presence, listening and spaciousness.

Meet Adelene

Adelene Cheong is a somatic educator and yoga teacher (E-RYT, YACEP, SYT, BWY Teacher, Adv R&R® Trainer, Certified iRest® Teacher, IDME, SME).

Her yoga began not as a pursuit of flexibility but as a way to heal from the limits of scoliosis. Living with chronic pain and fear as a teenager gave her a deep understanding of how body, mind and spirit connect. Yoga offered a gentle, supportive way back into her body, and ignited her passion for sharing it.
