Svadyaya (Self-study) : An Intimate, In-depth and Inspiring Mentorship
Svadhyaya, the Sanskrit term meaning "self-study" or "study of oneself," is a powerful pathway to deepening your yoga practice and teaching. This Mentorship is designed for Yoga Teachers looking to deepen their own relationship with the teachings of Yoga: Asana, Pranayama and Spiritual.
What You'll Explore
Teaching is so much more than learning the essential facts:
--To teach well is to connect, moment by moment, with whomever is in your room.
--To teach well is to have an ongoing commitment to your own practice—on the fun easy days, and the other ones too.
--To teach well is to understand why you practice; and all that Yoga can be over one’s lifetime.
--To teach well is to stay inspired.
