Tools, Tips and Techniques for Yoga Teachers
Looking to diversify and enhance your Yoga Teachings or play differently within your own deep home practice? This is the first in a series of modules that will provide you with the creative tools that will both deepen and stimulate your Yoga Teachings. Tired of going to teacher events and not coming home with some useful tools? It is my goal to shift that paradigm with these series of workshops that will put useful tools in the toolbox from which you shape your Yoga Teachings.
Module 1 - The Creative Use of Props
Sunday, March 28, 11-2 pm w/ Gerry Lishin
Module 1 - The creative use of props (straps, blocks, bolsters and walls) within a flowing Yoga environment. As teachers, we are all aware of the benefits of statically supporting many asanas to enhance the alignment and intention of each posture. My intention here is to pass onto you the creative sequences that I have developed that uses props within the context of a Dynamic Yoga practice.
During this workshop you will receive:
*A 6 page take home handout.
*6 unique “warm up” sequences, 3 w/straps, 1 each w/blocks, walls and bolsters.
*Numerous “in the flow” usages of props during the standing posture portion of your class.
*Numerous “on the floor” usages of props while seated, including some great abdominal and core workouts.
These sequences will reach into and stimulate some very unique areas and enhance the depth of your Yoga experience. Please realize that you don't have to teach at my usual dynamic and flowing pace, these techniques will benefit any style of Yoga.
Come and add more colors to the palette of knowledge from which you paint your Yoga Practices!
Cost - $30 New Attendees - $20 Module Repeaters
***Please Note - If you can't make this date:
I will be repeating this Module once per month.
