The Science Of Body and Breath Made Easy
Anatomy, Alignment and Assists is a two day learning, practice and practicum intensive
that delivers comprehensive material in an applicable easy to understand way.
This hands-on training is about physical and subtle body anatomy. It uses interactive learning and feedback to help you develop the skills, tools and confidence to teach safe, intuitive, constructive asana based movement classes. You will learn the art of observation, client assessment, and assisting each student where they are through meaningful articulate teaching. With these skills you will understand how daily functional movement, emotional stress and past experiences manifest in the physical and energetic bodies; and how you as a teacher can have a positive impact on students health and well-being. Partner and workgroup exercises for sensory perception, practicum (practice teaching and assisting), and finding your voice are taught as guidelines for authentic, inspirational teaching.
This training is best suited for yoga teachers, YTT students, therapists and healing practitioners.
