Overview
A day dedicated to the exploration of the physical side of teaching: āsana and the body. The past 2 years have been a ride, with less teaching and even less touching. A common worry of yoga teachers both new and with years of teaching, is the less we have been able to practice adjusting, the confidence starts to also disappear.
Come back to your confidence with a 5 hour immersion full of teachers looking to do the same, reigniting the love of adjusting our students and lifting the level of your teaching skills to a higher place. This immersion will bring you back to the foundational wisdom of adjustment theory and the hands-on (and hands-off) practicalities of physically, verbally and energetically helping our students in their own practice.
Topping up our cups of knowledge through seeing and working with other real bodies, through critical thinking and workshopping basic & more challenging postures, this advanced skill-building session will propel your teaching development of a yoga instructor and be able to teach more effectively.
A minimum of 3 hours will be dedicated to hands-on adjustment practice, and the rest of the time will be for a short teachers practice, theory, and most importantly sharing. By integrating various aspects of the day, we skilfully empower each other to walk away with a confidence boosted with integrity of why we are teaching Yoga more authentically in the first place.
