The 25-Hour Online Restorative Yoga Teacher Training by Siddhi Yoga is a Yoga Alliance YACEP-accredited program focused on relaxation, healing, and stress relief. Taught by Indian yoga instructor Shobhit Ghanshyala, the course covers the foundations of restorative yoga, prop usage, and how to guide students into deep recovery through supported postures.
This training is open to anyone interested in restorative yoga — no prior credential is required to enroll. It suits aspiring teachers, existing yoga teachers adding restorative to their offerings, students recovering from injury or burnout, and practitioners drawn to a healing practice. Because the credential is YACEP continuing education, existing Yoga Alliance teachers will get the most professional value from it.
The curriculum spans 11 topic areas covering restorative yoga end to end. Foundations include what restorative yoga is, its history, how it differs from yin yoga, and the role and use of restorative props. The benefits chapter explains how restorative practice supports physical and mental relaxation, flexibility, and mindfulness.
The practical core walks through 30 restorative postures organized by family — supine poses, twisting poses, prone poses, and seated poses — with attention to prop placement and student support. Practice sessions on different themes give worked-through sequences students can study and replicate. A dedicated module on teaching and demonstration covers the principles of leading a restorative class, including how to set up props, cue students into rest, and hold space for healing.
The course is taught by Shobhit Ghanshyala, a Siddhi Yoga instructor whose practice areas include Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, restorative, and therapeutic yoga. Siddhi Yoga has operated since 2013 from India and Singapore and has trained graduates across more than 125 countries.
The format is hybrid: 25 hours of self-paced video instruction, 40+ video lessons, a digital manual, and access to Siddhi Yoga’s daily live Zoom classes alongside an online student community. The cheapest tier includes six months of course access and six months of Zoom-class access, with the longer tier offering lifetime course access. Enrollment includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Graduates earn a 25-hour YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) certification, which counts toward the continuing-education requirement for Registered Yoga Teachers. The credential is recognized worldwide and lets existing Yoga Alliance teachers add restorative yoga to their teaching offerings.
