Embodied Relax and Restore: Somatic Restoration

This module focuses on recognising and cultivating the conditions that allow the body to feel safe enough to rest. 

Through somatic inquiry and therapeutic principles, explore how comfort, support, and ease directly influence breath, tone, and nervous system regulation.

“Somatic” refers to the experience of the body, often described as Annamaya. When the body is uncomfortable, guarded, or in pain, the nervous system cannot fully settle.

Attention is given to how breath responds differently when the body experiences comfort versus discomfort, and how subtle refinements in support can create profound shifts in restfulness.

This module includes:

• the process of observing and witnessing bodily sensation
• recognising and orienting towards experiences of comfort
• breath as a response rather than a technique
• regulating tissue tone and unnecessary holding
• supporting injuries, asymmetries, and imbalances for rest

Guided restorative practices, somatic inquiry, experiential learning, and reflective integration

This is a process-based training. Learning unfolds through direct experience rather than memorisation or protocol.

• A 6-hour live, online module taught by senior Yogacampus teacher Adelene Cheong
• Guided practices that you can try in real time
• Open group discussion, practical exercies, and shared inquiry, with space to ask questions, reflect, and learn together 
• A session recording will be made available afterward, so you can revisit the material at your own pace 
• We encourage live attendance if possible, to benefit from group discussions, small group work, and interactive elements 
• The option to take this as a standalone or continue through the series —with a pathway to Embodied Relax and Restore Certification 

This training is for you if...

• you have completed Relax and Restore (or Relax and Renew) Level 1 or Level 2
• ​are seeking an alternative to courses that are technique-driven, fast-paced, or purely informational

Independent modules or part of a series

The training unfolds across five interrelated areas of exploration. While presented as distinct themes, each area informs and supports the others.

The modules can be taken independently or booked as a series – and those taking all five also have the option to gain Embodied Relax and Restore certification (see further below).

Certification Option

The full training offers a deep inquiry into somatic and neurological recalibration, regeneration, and repatterning, supporting rest as a lived, sustainable state of being. It is designed for practitioners and teachers who wish to refine their relationship with rest, presence, and perception — both personally and professionally.

For those wishing to proceed to certification as a Embodied Relax and Restore teacher, you will need to have taken all five modules and, in addition, to​​​​ attend two mentoring sessions with Adelene (to be arranged directly with her, for £150).
