Balance is a moving target—and something every student at every age needs. In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you'll learn how to design and cue balance-focused yoga sequences and classes for all levels. Whether you use these sequences in the context of a gentle class, a faster-paced class, or a fully balance-focused class, 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:

+ Examine the systems at play in acheiving balance in space: nervous, vestibular, and musculoskeletal
+ Look at ways to progress and regress (spice up and sweeten) balance poses in mixed-level classes
+ Include static and dynamic balance exercises appropriate for everyone
+ Workshop the psychology and physiology of the student experience in balance poses, so we can serve our students better
+ Prompt you to design new balance sequences and new approaches to balance poses, 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 workshop what you learn
