Come to the softer side! In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you'll learn how to design and cue gentle yoga sequences and classes for all levels. Whether you use these sequences as warmups in a faster-paced class or teach exclusively gentle classes, your students—and your personal practice—will benefit.
This workshop includes a preassignment and follow-along classes to complete before we meet, so please budget at least five hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.
Our in-person sessions will:
+ Create a clear definition of what constitutes gentle yoga—and
what differentiates it from yin yoga and restorative yoga (NB: join
us for yin yoga and restorative yoga modules in winter 2023!)
+ Calibrate our understanding of what belongs in a gentle yoga
class and what doesn't
+ Workshop the student experience in gentle yoga classes, so we can
serve our students better
+ Prompt you to design new sequences, freshening up your class
planning; you'll also get full class plans to use right away
+ Build your confidence in leading students of every age and level
of ability
+ Give you a warm, supportive environment in which to practice your
newfound gentle yoga teaching skills and hone the abilities you
already have
Let's get physical! In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you'll learn how to design and cue core-focused sequences and classes for all levels. Whether you use these sequences as part of a yoga class or teach exclusively core-strengthening classes, your students—and your personal practice—will benefit.
This workshop includes a preassignment and follow-along classes to complete before we meet, so please budget at least five hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.
Our in-person sessions will:
+ Create a clear definition of the core
+ Explore whether core strengthening happens in isolation (spoiler:
it doesn't; we are really talking about full-body strength and
awareness)
+ Review the basics of exercise physiology as it applies to core
strength training
+ Take a bird's-eye view of the Pilates approach and the yoga
approach to the core
+ Workshop the student experience in core classes, so we can serve
our students better
+ Prompt you to design new sequences, freshening up your class
planning, while also giving you a host of sequences to borrow and
use in your classes
+ Build your confidence in leading students of every age and level
of ability
+ Give you a warm, supportive environment in which to practice your
newfound core-exercise teaching skills and hone the abilities you
already have
