Day 2 Asana Lab – Alignment Answered
I’ve been running asana labs since 2015. The idea was we took poses you wanted to understand, broke them down, observed each other practicing them, I adjusted them, you adjusted them, we propped them, photographed each other in them & gained a greater understanding of them.
Consider this a day to get those deeply confusing questions that come up for you in your own practice & when teaching, answered.
Sussex Yoga Training’s Restorative & Yin Yoga CPD course & is for established teachers or those working towards a level three diploma or 200 hours certificate. It is a two day training that will enable you to deliver two entirely useful methods of yoga to your students.
Course Outline
This special two-day training will consist of two days of practical explorations, presentations & discussions with senior teacher, Lucy Leslie.
Syllabus
Restorative: The anatomy & physiology of Restorative Yoga, nervous system regulation & the relationship with other body systems. The physiology of stress & relaxation, vagal tone & how to elicit the relaxation response. You’ll practice teaching, whilst considering environment, postures, props, modifications, progressions, intention, sequencing, theming, class planning, breath & language.
Combining Yin and Restorative Postures in a class: Guidance on sequencing, planning & delivery. The “Putting it all together – teaching from the heart” & Yin Yoga versus Restorative Yoga – what makes them different & why they work well together.
Yin Yoga: In context, it's purpose & benefits. The anatomy of Yin Yoga – “Yin tissues”, flexibility, fascia & the heart-mind connection. You’ll work on practical delivery of Yin Yoga postures whilst looking at intention & attention, the energetic body, duration, breathing, use of props, sequencing and themes.
