Why We're Here
...we recognise rest as a necessity, not a reward; we are interested in moving away from the capitalistic view of rest as a means to increased productivity – this is a practice that will help us understand ourselves at a deeper level.
...we wish to create Restorative Yoga practices for ourselves and for others that honour the bodies we are in, and that consider other factors by which our practice of rest may have been impacted.
...we are interested in the connection between rest and community, rest and collective care, rest and liberation

Lead Trainer
Jennifer Tan (she/her) has been in education of various kinds for the past 19 years, from more academic settings, to CrossFit coaching and Yoga teacher training. Specific to yoga and over the years, she has taught various styles, trained in specialised areas such as applying accessibility and trauma awareness to the teaching sphere, and eventually placed much of this learning in her teaching and training of Restorative Yoga; this has nourished Jen’s eight-year-long (and counting) relationship with her teacher, Judith Hanson Lasater, who she assists both in-person and online.
Complementary to her teaching years is her experience in curriculum development, which has culminated in the co-writing/leading of a 200h Yoga Teacher Training, the writing/leading of a 50h Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. Thanks to her own journey of unlearning, these trainings increasingly bring to the forefront topics such as intersectionality and the importance of decolonising our movement practices.
All of Jen’s classes are invitational and curiosity-driven, with the hope of finding ways to move and rest our bodies with confidence and compassion.
