SPRING Teacher Tune Up Series

The Art of Adjustments + Assists
Sunday, April 28th
1-4pm

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
Saturday, May 11
1:30-4:30pm

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! 

 

Seat of the Teacher
Sunday, June 23
1-4pm

Do you get overrun by nerves when teaching? Maybe you teach a good sequence but your class lacks that certain energy that creates more powerful connection? OR did you do an online training and don't know how to get off your mat and into the room? SEAT OF THE TEACHER is for you! 

 We'll look at best practices for managing the energy of the room in a yoga class. How to navigate the highs and lows of teaching. As well as explore techniques to create a more powerful personal energy to share with our students.  

We'll combine a bit of lecture with lots of exploration and discussion so you leave with practical skills YOU can apply.
