Continuing Education for Yoga Teachers
Spring 2025 Continuing Education Workshops COMING SOON!
BREAKING DOWN THE VINYASA
March 2025
Inverting from the Ground Up
TBD
Join us for this experiential workshop for yogis AND yoga teachers! Whether you want to learn to invert or arm balance and don’t know how OR you want to take your skills further, this will be a great workshop to grow your skills.
We'll go through principles of foundation, center of gravity, core and lots of skills/drills that seem like they have nothing to do right away with actually getting off the ground… but then voila… help you FLY!
We'll look at props, ways to prep and all the best practices for getting your or your students’ feet off the mat. PLUS we’ll learn all about what you can/cannot do when helping students explore inversions.
The Art of Adjustments + Assists
Help your students to deepen and refine their practice through verbal and physical adjustments and assists. Learn how to engage in this practice with intention, safety and to create MORE in the physical body on the mat. We’ll explore many different approaches across a deep variety of poses, looking at the why, how and when of adjustments and assists.
Prop it Up: Using Props to Expand your Practice
This workshop seeks to take the stigma out of prop use in class. Many students feel props are a signal they can't do "enough" of the pose... and thus hesitate to use props.
In reality, props can deepen our experience of yoga in SO many ways. From creating more work and activation, to allowing length and space, even helping us find more sensation or support in a pose.
Come explore, play and learn... then take this back to your classes!
