“Jillian Pransky’s Restorative Therapeutic Teacher Training was highly recommended by a friend who took it few years ago, so I came into it with high expectations—and Jillian exceeded them! I learned a lot about propping and it was far more than just getting the how to’s of restorative yoga poses and sequencing. She taught us how to think for ourselves and be creative. Best of all, Jillian taught us the koshas in a tangible way. The experience was definitely informative but more importantly heartfelt and transformational.”

— Stephanie, Turtle Flow Yoga

“I was delighted by Jillian’s light-hearted approach in which I laughed and enjoyed myself while learning so much. I left confident and passionate to share the practice with others. Just days after training, I was able to bring deeper states of ease and relaxation to a man suffering from cancer (and his wife) as well as a mother of 4 with a new born. I am excited to bring this level of rest and healing to many others.”

— Shauna, Yoga Therapist

“Run, don’t wak, to study with Jillian Pransky. Her training is the most clear of any instruction I have ever experienced. You receive comprehensive, organized and yet loving, kind, and entertaining instruction. You learn propping, alignment, anatomy, energetic physiology, sequencing and so much more. Her breadth of knowledge and years of experience provide such insight into what deep relaxation can express or trigger on an emotional and psychological level in the student and she emphasizes how to provide safe, professional space.”

— Lisa, Yoga Therapist

“Jillian is so inspiring and passionate about her work and conveys so much information in a short amount of time. I got so much out of it and I am not even a yoga instructor. I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for almost 5 years and I understand now how some peaceful moments on the yoga mat can compliment the rest of my healing process, finding that moment of stillness where healing can happen.”

— Stephanie, Yoga Student

“Jillian is a gifted teacher. She artfully translates for students the wisdom of her own deep yoga practice and her years of helping individuals and groups heal from stress and related injuries. What is most striking is her generosity of spirit - her willingness to share all that she knows, in order to make sure more people in this world experience the restoration and connectedness of yoga practice”

— Amanda, Yoga Teacher

“My training with Jillian was healing, restful, inspiring, and fun. It opened my eyes to the kind of healing work we can do at all levels. As the only non-yoga teacher in the class, I was nervous about having the skills that I would need to do the work but Jillian made all the concepts so accessible. I learned an enormous number of new tools and skills that I can use for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for my patients and for myself.”

— Alison, M.D.

“The depth and scope of this training was really impressive - akin to university-level lectures based on her 25+ years of learning, growing, and teaching. The lab-based evidence from renowned scientific institutions regarding the benefits of Restorative Yoga and its objective to initiate the Relaxation Response and Remembered Wellness was mind-blowing. And yet, Jillian delivered this material in such an endearing, humble, human way - kindness and compassion overflows in her communications; she has the ability to laugh at her own foibles, to inspire us with her heartfeslt passion for Restorative Yoga, while still maintaing a beginner’s mind as she too learned right alongside her students!”

—Natalie, Kaleidoscope Yoga Studio

This training is phenomenal - not only will you come away with practical knowledge to better help your students “remember their wellness,” but you will also come away with healing for yourself. The depth of insight shared is grounded in both Western medicine and Eastern tradition, and you come away with a deep understanding of the relaxation response and its importance to both individuals and society. The format of the training is perfect - live interactions and opportunities for small group discussions (should you choose), and the overall tone of the training is so supportive - you really feel like Jillian and all the teaching assistant mentors are truly living their teaching of compassion, understanding, and empathy. This is a training I will certainly return to in the future.
