OL350RYTT Personalised BioMedical Yoga Specialising in Restorative Yoga & Meditation (Online)
A Yoga Australia and Yoga Alliance Approved Training Course
Restorative Yoga as Biomedical & Trauma‑Informed Practice
Welcome to BIYOME’s Restorative Yoga Stream — a deeply nourishing and life‑enhancing pathway into yoga as lifestyle medicine. Restorative yoga is one of the most accessible, transformative, and scientifically supported practices available today, offering whole‑body rejuvenation and profound nervous system regulation.
The Power of Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is an evidence‑based therapeutic practice that bridges the gap between an active yoga class and a seated meditation session. Through gentle, prop‑supported postures and mindful breathwork, restorative yoga cultivates deep interoceptive awareness, tones the nervous system, and supports the transformation of stress, fatigue, and emotional suffering.
This gentle yet powerful modality awakens the energetic systems of the mind‑body, developing heightened sensitivity, emotional resilience, and compassionate self‑awareness. Its accessibility makes restorative yoga an invaluable tool for supporting holistic wellbeing across diverse populations.
A Therapeutic, Immersive Learning Experience
Restorative yoga provides an immersive pathway into psychosomatic medicine and the healing process. Throughout your training, you will develop proficiency in:
- restorative asana and sequencing
- trauma‑sensitive touch adjustments
- accurate and precise alignment
- correct prop usage and prop‑supported pranayama
- the physiology of relaxation and nervous system regulation
These skills form the foundation of a therapeutic yoga practice that supports physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
A Biopsychosocial Approach to Yoga
BIYOME has developed a distinctive restorative yoga specialisation that integrates trauma‑informed yoga, meditation teacher training, and biomedical science. This 350‑hour pathway offers a comprehensive understanding of the biopsychosocial model — exploring how biological, psychological, and sociological factors shape health, behaviour, and healing.
Through state‑of‑the‑art, evidence‑based educational resources, you will gain a deep appreciation for the imperative nature of the mind‑body connection and its relevance to contemporary mental health.
This course is designed to be completed within 12–18 months, allowing you to study at your own pace while integrating restorative yoga and meditation into your daily life.
