Most natural way to level restoration without training is to get damaged a lot in battle and heal yourself a lot. This is good if you have good amount of health and a good amount of magicka. Fight with a sword or something that doesn't use magicka, to save your magicka for healing. I think your XP gain is the amount of health you heal.
If you are a squishy mage, you can level your restoration by training your ward against a Flame Atronach or a Storm Atronach. Learn to use wards efficiently. I haven't measured this, but I believe your XP gain is the amount of incoming damage you block.
