Module Two: Flowing From Simple to Complex
Next training TBD

“If you go step by step, there will be no problems. Enjoy each step.   Trying to leap many steps at once can be a problem.”
~T.K.V. Desikachar quoting his father Krishnamacharya
Learn to teach from simple to more complex poses within a vinyasa class – without breaking the flow!
Have you ever been in a vinyasa yoga class where the teacher decides to throw in a more complex pose and stops the class dead in its tracks to demonstrate?
Or casually tells those who know the pose to go into it “if they know it” without teaching the steps to help those who might be new to that particular pose? 
Leaving those students to feel left out.
When teaching an all-level class, it is the standard operating procedure for teachers to include basic alignment for each pose along with modifications and other options.
However, arm balances and more advanced poses are often offered up in a vinyasa class, but too often not taught.
In this workshops series, teachers will learn the art of “teaching simple to complex”, without breaking the flow of the class. While also making sure all
students feel included – no matter the level of experience.

Intelligent sequencing, clear step-by-step instructions with alternatives, and basic foundation building can help prep your student’s bodies and give them the tools to grow their practice.
This program is appropriate for teachers (6 Contact CEUs available) and any student of yoga interested in learning how to build their practice safely.
Broken down into 3 two hour sessions, each session will focus on foundation building for specific arm balances and/or what would be considered more advanced poses.  You will learn how to break down a pose and determine appropriate prep poses to include in the class. We will begin each session with a 60-90 minute yoga practice and follow up with discussion time that will include more exploration into poses, preps, and step-by-step instructions that are clear and precise.
Session One – Foundation Building
Session One will focus on poses and movements that help to build a foundation to support arm balances and other more advanced poses.
Session Two & Three – Flowing From Simple to Complex
Sessions Two and Three will focus on specific “pinnacle” poses. We will flow through a sequence that specifically preps the body for the pose, along with precise step-by-step instructions to include all levels of students.
Poses That Will Be Covered:
Parsva Bakasana/Side Crow Pose
Parsva Bhuja Dandasana/Grasshopper
Baby Grasshopper Pose
Eka Pada Galavasana/Flying Pigeon Pose
Astavakrasan/8 Point Pose
Bhujapidasna/ShoulderPressing Pose
Tittibhasana/Firefly Pose
Eka Pada Koundinyasana/Hurdler Pose
Svarga Dvijasana/Bird of Paradise Pose
Parivrtta Svarga Dvijasana/Revolved Bird of Paradise Pose
Visvamitrasana/Sage Visvamitra’s Pose

~YIN YOGA: An Immersion for Teachers and Students~

Next training TBD

Cost:
$300 for all four sessions
$95 for a single session


Yin yoga focuses on longer held, more passive floor poses that lengthen and stimulate the connective tissues of the body. Unlike a power/vinyasa yoga (yang) practice, yin yoga is a slower pace where poses are held for 3-5 minutes. This practice also helps to cultivate inner calm. By staying in the pose longer you will train your mind and body to become still and endure uncomfortableness, both mentally and physically, with grace. Breath is used to help stay connected to the present moment.

This training is for those who would like to dive deeper into the practice. It is for current yoga teachers who would like to learn the fundamental science and philosophy behind yin yoga. As well as for students interested in a more thorough understanding of the practice.

The training is broken down into four 2-hour sessions. You can attend all four or sign up for specific dates. Teachers are eligible for continuing education credits required for Yoga Alliance renewal. You will receive 10 contact hours when you attend all three sessions and lead a yin yoga community class via zoom or at the studio. Class will be scheduled on an individual basis after the training sessions are completed. You will receive a certificate of completion.
