Having organised a number of festivals, holidays and retreats over the years and teaching at a number of events, I am stepping back in order to focus my energies on delivering Teacher trainings and small group ‘homecomings’.

I am still committed to the idea of being in community in nature, treading as lightly on the earth as possible. I have been camping out since I was a tiny baby and still find it one of the best ways to return in the most physical way to the ‘groundofbeing’, I think we become calmer and kinder living close to the earth but have felt the need to draw things a little closer to home, to focus on smaller groups.

Here are the details of my level 2 Teacher Trainings, Collaborations, Workshops and Retreats. Some still being finalised.

✨ Level 2 Restorative Teacher Training with Amanda Brown

100 Hours | 5-Month Immersive Program | 70 Contact Hours

Are you ready to deepen your teaching, expand your skills, and explore the art of rest at a profound level?

Join Amanda Brown, a teacher with over 40 years of experience, for a rich and comprehensive journey into restorative yoga and beyond. This training offers far more than a traditional restorative program—inviting you to dive deeply into the practice, embody the teachings, and develop the confidence to hold space with clarity, compassion, and creativity.

 Why This Training?

Unlike shorter restorative trainings, this five-month program gives you time to absorb, embody, and integrate what you learn. Amanda’s unique approach weaves together restorative yoga with somatics, neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, and creative modalities, offering you a truly holistic framework.

You’ll leave with:

  • A depth of knowledge to confidently support students in slowing down and pausing

  • Skills to bring your teaching into diverse contexts

  • A toolkit of practices that are deeply relevant in today’s fast-paced world

This is more than teacher training—it’s an exploration of presence, embodiment, and the power of rest.

 What You’ll Learn

  • Restorative postures, principles, sequencing, and prop/non-prop approaches

  • Simple myofascial release techniques

  • Pranayama for restorative practice (with guidance on contraindications)

  • Meditation and Yoga Nidra: principles and practice

  • Somatic movement & reflexes (Hanna Somatics)

  • Developmental movement patterns (Body-Mind Centering®) & introduction to embryology

  • Trauma-informed approaches & gentle interventions

  • The mindful use of language to invite, inspire, and empower

  • Creative modalities such as sound and imagery

 Who Is This Training For?

This program is designed for yoga teachers who want to:

  • Deepen their understanding of restorative practice
