Uncovering the Oasis Within: Restorative Yoga CET with Gabrielle Mendoza, Sep 13 - 28

Orchard Central
Saturday & Sunday, September 13 & 14, 20 & 21, 27 & 28, 2025
9am - 5pm

This 3-option programme offers a framework for you to apply the required skills and knowledge of anatomy and science that facilitate a safer and more enriching practice, which can help to empower both you and your students with greater confidence in your yoga journey.

This journey is more than just about unwinding from stress and understanding how the nervous system works–it is about taking that step to heal yourself by unearthing your triggers, understanding your inclinations and tendencies through pausing and observing during meditation, and stepping into your power through the process of returning to the nourishment of homeostasis.

We’ve been called, from our different walks of life, to congregate with the bigger intention of being the change we wish to see in this world.

If it is your calling to make a difference in a world where looking after one’s mental wellbeing could do with prioritisation, you are invited to join the movement.

Open to all aspiring yoga instructors, seasoned instructors seeking specialisation in Restorative Yoga, wellness facilitators in the field of psychotherapy and life-coaching and individuals looking to deepen their practice in the art of conscious relaxation.

Continuous Education Training (30 hours)

Saturday & Sunday, September 13 & 14, 20 & 21, 2025
9am - 5pm

This Yoga Alliance accredited 30-hour CET programme will cover modules 1 to 6. It is suitable for yoga practitioners to better understand the science behind Restorative Yoga, and how it is taught, so as to better develop their personal practice of intentional rest.

Find out how to fine-tune your propping skills to better cater to your own practice, and have the opportunity to venture into an in-depth exploration of the practice through theoretical and practical ways of learning.  

Includes 1 quiz and 1 case study.

Teacher Training (50 hours)

Saturday & Sunday, September 13 & 14, 20 & 21, 27 & 28, 2025
9am - 5pm

This Yoga Alliance certified 50-hour Teacher Training programme will cover modules 1 to 9, and fully equips regular practitioners of Restorative Yoga, as well as aspiring teachers who are looking to teach Restorative Yoga–whether in a private or commercial setting–with the breadth of soft and hard skills to deliver a comprehensive experience.

Aligned with what Gabrielle uniquely brings to her Restorative Yoga classes, she will be imparting skills relating to the Art of Holding Space, Therapeutic Adjustments, fundamental concepts of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and how to seamlessly weave its guiding principles into a crafted practice that will provide direction towards holistic healing.

In this programme, we will also learn how to use additional props and craft that will enhance relaxation such as weighted sandbags, eye-pillows, and singing bowls.

With an additional 20-hours in the longer program comes the chance for the participant to deliver group practice teaching and receive valuable feedback from peers and the trainer, which is crucial, yet so often neglected in training programs. These additional sessions will provide the time required to do deeper study, experience poses with varied propping, and discuss practical observations and considerations.

In line with the growing demand for online teaching, this additional module will be presented to help one clearly distinguish the differences, challenges and concessions to cater for in this clearly distinct field.

The demands of private yoga differ considerably, and a deeper insight into how to cater to the differing needs of private clients will give you the confidence to hold space for someone who might be needing this one-to-one down time to seek solace, or cater for injuries and limitations that require technical know-how in one’s approach.

Includes 1 quiz, 3 case studies and 1 practical exam.

ABOUT GABRIELLE MENDOZA



Gabrielle crumbled under the stress of the corporate world and reclaimed her lost self through yoga. She now follows her dharma to help others to manage their stress through the means of mindfulness, meditation, and the discipline of yoga.

Her training in yoga therapy has helped many to cope with their physical struggles, but her attunement with healing is what directs others to discover a whole inner world that transcends the superficial.

She hopes to be able to impart accessible ways to incorporate mindfulness and meditation into the lives of those who are ready for change, and hold space for those who are struggling to find their footing.

Through the chosen path of Restorative Yoga, she hopes to be able to turn the tides of cultural norms and societal expectations, to encourage people to value the health of their nervous system.

During the course of her career she has also helped individuals who suffer from auto-immune disorders, chronic pain and terminal illnesses to manage their associated stress and suffering so that their body can recuperate optimally in dedicated one-on-one sessions.

Along with the tribe of Uncovering the Oasis Within graduates, she has trained as principal trainer for Restorative Yoga Teacher Trainings at Pure Yoga Singapore. Gabrielle hopes to drive forward a revolution of rest–the healing balm needed by the modern world, and the change we wish to see in this world.
