When we first dip our toes into the world of yoga asanas, we often see asanas as absolute shapes, that are there to be replicated and ultimately conquered. When we teach, sometimes elements of this may continue, and we ask students to work towards asanas for asana’s sake. This training is all about moving beyond imitation and exploring how we can encourage students to begin to build skill in their asana practice, and start questions like; what is the intention of the pose? What is being opened and what strengthened? Is this actually beneficial for my body? Am I being distracted by a desire to achieve a dramatic shape? From both the perspective of teachers and students, in this series of workshops, we will explore:
– Deconstructing ‘peak poses’ and how to prepare the body for their practice, the intention behind pose families and common habits that can be potentially injurious
– How to deepen our physical practice in a controlled safe and sustainable way
– How to apply alignment principles to unique bodies
– How to balance flexibility and strength, whilst dropping desire for ‘dramatic’ shapes!
– How to teach advanced poses and offer options for all levels
– Discover how asanas, their variations and how you cue them, can be best utilised in your chosen direction of travel
You will get a certificate on completion of the training and all qualified teachers and trainees are welcome.
