Online Trainings Since 2017
In 2017 we decided to provide online versions of our yoga teacher training as we were getting requests from people who could not travel to our ashrams.
I was intrigued by the outcome, so we created this online version to see where the virtual journey would take us. When we announced it on social media, we were bombarded with negative comments; some believed it was impossible to learn yoga online.
The outcome surprised us all. Within the first six months, more than a thousand practitioners had already enrolled in our online training program.
Hundreds of five-star reviews gave us confidence, and regular feedback helped us refine the online course to make it entirely user-friendly, with added value for our students.

Frequently asked questions

Our online Restorative Yoga Teacher Training certification gives you the freedom to study anytime, anywhere, at your own pace. You can complete each module on your schedule with unlimited teacher support and lifetime access to materials.
This flexibility is especially beneficial for busy practitioners or teachers who cannot commit to long hours in a studio or ashram. Learn at home, during breaks at work, or at your local studio, and get certified in Restorative Yoga without adding stress to your routine.
Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga are often described as the same, but there are many differences between the two. Discover what they are in our in-depth blog: Yin Yoga versus Restorative Yoga–What Are the Differences and Similarities?
You can start your studies immediately after enrollment or begin when it suits you best—you have lifelong access to the course materials. There are also no deadlines. You can complete the training in as little as 8 days or take your time.
To enhance your learning experience, we release content gradually, in a drip method. Most students finish the course in 2-4 weeks while studying part-time, balancing their training with other commitments.
This approach allows you to learn at your own pace while ensuring a structured and effective learning experience.
Our online Restorative Yoga Teacher Training comes with unlimited teacher support from experienced Teacher Trainer, Lucia Seglie. For questions during or after your course, you can contact her directly.
Props play an important role in Restorative Yoga, so you’ll need a few items to follow along with our lessons. Don’t worry if you don’t have specialized yoga equipment—you can easily use household items instead. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Yoga mat (or any mat or large towel you have at home)
- 2 Yoga blocks (or a couple of thick books)
- 1 Blanket
- 1 Yoga bolster (or 2 bed pillows)
- 1 Yoga strap (or a towel or long scarf)
This course is designed as a complete education in Restorative Yoga and can be taken on its own. You can learn to teach this specific style with just this training.
However, if you want to teach yoga more broadly, we recommend first completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training course, preferably in Hatha Yoga. A 200-hour course provides:
- Foundational knowledge of yoga poses
- Greater teaching confidence
- A wide range of general yoga knowledge
<p “=”” class=”class=” data-css=”tve-u-171072d8889″ tve-droppable”=””>Our course focuses deeply on Restorative Yoga techniques and how to teach them professionally. It’s often considered continuing education for yoga teachers, but you don’t need prior teaching experience to enroll.<p “=”” class=”class=” data-css=”tve-u-171072d8889″ tve-droppable”=””>If your goal is to teach only Restorative Yoga, this course gives you all the necessary skills and knowledge.
This online course covers 75 hours of study and practice time. If you are registered with the Yoga Alliance as a RYT, you can also register these hours as Continuing Education hours.

Throughout our Restorative Yoga online course, you’ll find simple quizzes to check your understanding or learning so far. There’s also a final exam at the end. You will need to pass them to complete the course, but you can take them as many times as you need.
We’ve set it up this way to make sure you have a solid foundation of Restorative Yoga and how to teach and modify classes for various students. It’s not about testing you, but about ensuring you’re confident and well-prepared to guide students safely through their practice.
Once you’ve completed the last chapter and passed the final exam, your certificate will be ready for you to download right away. There’s no need to wait or pay anything extra—it’s all included in your course fee.
