Testimonials from graduates of this course:

“This training was such a great experience! It filled my expectations and even more. The content is clear and well defined. The days were very well balanced and organized. The atmosphere given by Kristen and Luc is such a heart-warmer, it created a cocoon full of kindness in which we could practice and learn together. I would definitely recommend you to follow this amazing training!” – Eugenie

“This restorative teacher training was a unique journey into softness, silence and self-discovery. It was an opportunity to study the methods and techniques of restorative yoga within a safe setting, guided by teachers who are passionate about sharing their experience and knowledge. Grounded by their own practice, Luc and Kristen guide you into how to practice and teach restorative poses according to individual needs. Attending this training has given me a deep understanding of the subtleties of restorative yoga, and an inspiration to practice it everyday. Absolutely loved this training.” – Sara

“I really, really loved the restorative teacher training at Radiant light yoga. The TT was created with very great care and Kristen an Luc just breathe restorative yoga! The TT days were both intense and relaxing. I learned so much I can apply to my yin and other classes as well… Savasana for everyone!” – Saskia

“I want to start off by saying that Kristen and Luk are both excellent and wonderful teachers. The course is very well structured and there is enormous attention to detail. For example, we would spend a lot of time (as is customary in RY) arranging blankets, bolsters until they were exactly right for the student . Moreover, Kristen and Luk would walk around the shala, correcting and directing where necessary, until the student was utterly and fully comfortable. Furthermore, they gave a lot of attention to the more scientific side of RY (e.g. BARO reflex, sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system) which, for me, was very interesting and gave the course an extra dimension. Lastly, Kristen and Luk always encouraged us to ask questions and to be inquisitive. For me, all of the above, gives testimony to the wonderful and eye-opening course, Kristen and Luk put together.” – Nina
