Release & Restore

Overview

This course is for you if you want to rest, not just at the surface, but deep within, experience a calm which soothes not just your nerves but the being within.

Why Release?

We’re holding on, to our feelings, traumas, pains and even happiness, releasing and digesting what's unprocessed within us makes us lighter.

Why Restore?

Recharge and heal the body and mind, finding yourself in a deep state of relaxation. Establishing a strong connection with your body and soul

CURRICULUM

In this mini-training, Janet explores nourishing practices designed to re-establish our connection with our internal state of being.

The series focuses on conscious rest and the nervous system. It includes:

Use of props to rest in asanas
A full restorative and slow flow practice designed to help you slow down and consicously allow yourself to rest
Yoga nidra practice to reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia
Meditation to promote mental health and cultivate a calm, focused, and aware mind
Self-massage to reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation

WHY THIS COURSE MATTERS

Mental health, stress, anxiety and self-worth can be difficult to navigate. Even when sleeping, we're not completely resting. Most of us don't even experience complete rest. This course is bound to change your perspective about rest.

This course can be applied to 3 continuing education hours or teacher training elective hours.

FAQS

How is thE training setup?

We are using an intuitive, yet robust learning platform, called Mighty Networks. Upon enrollment, you should have received several invitations to join the spaces for your training program and the courses that are part of it. Everyone will have a training hub with your curriculum and requirements and the teacher training community (which includes all programs and all cohorts).

How can I review my program requirements?

Every program has a training hub. There, you'll find a few different overviews of your requirements, including a training packet and a checklist (designed to print or use with a pdf markup app). You'll also see the forms you'll submit as you finish each required course or activity.

I'm missing a course in my account. How can I add it?

We'll send an email in response to your training application. There, we'll answer any questions you asked in your application and share a list of your training spaces, with links to add them.

I chose the electives option. How can I find out which electives I can choose?

The pages for the electives programs will stay up-to-date as we add new electives. You can see dates and number of elective hours for each option there:
200 hour: https://www.janetstoneyoga.com/school/200-hour-electives
300 hour: https://www.janetstoneyoga.com/school/300-hour-electives

note: if you are in the fully virtual or residential hybrid option, you won't have any electives.

How Should I structure my time for Virtual Courses?

We recommend setting aside one day as your deep dive day. Courses are set up with weekly modules (if you have 40 Days of Practice, that's the only exception, with 10 day modules). On your deep dive day, you can plan to spend 1-2 hours. You'll watch a dharma talk or overview video for the week in that time, and you can review the practices offered. It's a good time to plan how you'll integrate the practices throughout the week.

When you are planning your week of practice, truly consider the context of your life. If you only have 15 minutes, plan for a 15 minute practice. If you can establish a pattern of daily practice (even if some days are 5 minutes of meditation, and a mantra you have queued up, then that's a practice).

I lost my momentum, how can I resume

We're here for you, and we've been there, too. Jump into the next course that's being offered in your curriculum (see https://www.janetstoneyoga.com/ for the calendar of courses) or finish the one that you started and only have a little left. It's okay—returning is what matters.

I have questions. How can I get answers, help, or regroup?

You can email us (see below), join a study hall with Connie, post your question in your training curriculum, or DM us (Connie) in the Mighty Network.

Where can I find upcoming study halls and other live offerings?

Once you have added all of your courses and spaces, your events calendar (https://school.janetstoneyoga.com/events) in the Mighty Network will include any upcoming live events for you.

Who can I email if my question wasn’t answered here?

Email school@janetstoneyoga.com if you have other questions.
