Alignment & Assisting (Part 1)

As teachers we want to be able to feel confident and connected with our classes, clients and each other.  While we may not fully understand how--we are constantly exchanging energy with those around us in a yoga studio or class setting.  Come together with other instructors to learn from each other and connect on a deeper level to advance your teaching.

Utilize the universal principles of the Yamas and Niyamas to enrich alignment of both physical body and inner energy in your teaching.

• development of class themes, flow sequences and transitions centered on alignment
• build confidence in teaching physical alignment in asana postures and practice
• build confidence in learning and practicing ways to assist your students best:  verbal cuing, demonstrating (self & other students), light press points, physical assisting, and partner work
• discussion circles regarding intention, techniques
• back-to-back partner practice-- putting assists into practice
