Course content:

The initial emphasis will be to give you the inspiration to take your practice to a much deeper level, and to create an environment that is conducive to learning.
First will be a self evaluation, making it clear where each student stands, as to make the next step possible…to a conscious evolution. The principles learnt will be basic to asana but they are also fundamental to such approach as dance and martial arts.

Yogic Philosophy - as the basis or inspiration to your approach.

Breath & Vinyasa - Learning the mechanism of breath and its affect on the physical body, on the emotional body, and on the mental body.

Bandha & posture - Optimizing and understanding bandhas and their affect on one’s body. Bringing this understanding to the various asanas with a clear purpose of circulating the energy flow in the body.

Drishti - Bringing the state of mind that makes yoga a transformative process.

Nutrition/ayurved - Mixing ancient and modern views on this subject.

Antomy- Learning very specific anatomy that goes along with the course content. Basic anatomy will be part of the suggested readings. (Guest speaker)

Esoteric anatomy - to understand how this practice operates beyond the physical body.

Chanting - We will explore several aspects of the voice and its use in breaking through blockages in the body and as a tool for teaching. (Guest speaker)

Meditation - Bringing a meditative state to all our practices, various approaches will be explored.

The second aspect of the training will involve gaining the confidence and developing the skills that will allow you to transmit your own experience through:
-Using words to give concise & progressive verbal instruction
-Adjustments, both safe and clear
-Reading into the postural and energetic imbalances of the students
