"A profoundly authentic yoga experience." - John Stirk, author of The Original Body and Deeper Still

From Anna Ashby, one of the first yoga teachers in the UK to offer this style, comes a complete overview of restorative yoga for teachers, trainees and experienced students.

Arranged into three sections, the book is designed to help readers understand the history, purpose and characteristics of the practice; its feel and expression with an emphasis on breath, process and introspection; and how to structure a successful practice. Each section ends with self-enquiry and breath exploration so teachers can practically apply the knowledge shared in each chapter and build a framework for a successful teaching practice.

Helping the reader to understand their own patterns of behaviour and cultural imprints, which may interfere with the ability to downshift the nervous system and ultimately relax, Restorative Yoga supplies all the necessary preparations to successfully teach this style of yoga.

Anna Ashby has over 20 years' experience as a yoga teacher and since 2003 has taught at triyoga in London, the largest yoga centre in Europe. She leads workshops and teacher trainings internationally. She is a founder and senior faculty member at triyoga's teacher training program. Anna specialises in restorative yoga, having been one of the first yoga teachers in the UK to offer this style. Originally from the US, Anna is now based in Leicestershire, UK.
