10 Hours toward your advanced yoga certification

—————————————————————————————————————

We can all agree that we are not teaching poses, but we are teaching people: Yoga is being in relationship. We learn about being in relationship with ourselves via practice: we lean away from harshness and judgment, and move towards patience and compassion. As teachers, we aim to develop these skills into our relationships with our students. We develop our Communication Skills.

As we steady our ability to witness, we hone the discipline to choose precision and kindness, wakefulness and detachment. Always beginning with ourselves, we learn to model and encourage these essential ways of seeing, being and connecting with our students.

Via practice, lecture, labs and practice teaching:

→ Seeing with loving eyes

→ Instructions and cuing

→ Moving from general to the highly specific organically

→ Clarity of effort without over-striving or triggering Ego

→ Presenting vs. future/goal orientation

→ Empowering use of Inquiry

Each day will focus on a specific area in the body and learn the Movement Principle that balances moving into flexibility with stabilizing and safety. From this perspective, we are able to effectively teach from basic to advanced level cuing, to beginning and advanced poses. Each day will include Asana, Restoratives and Pranayama. Afternoons will include lecture and discussion on communication skills including evolving sensitivity and empathy, creating clear boundaries, as well as ethical concerns. Seeing bodies and adjustments (both hands-on and verbal) will be highlighted each afternoon.
