‘Yoga for Real Life’
Using Yoga Philosophy and Psychology effectively in your teaching

The ancient texts and the ideas, concepts and themes proposed can be enlivened through your teaching.
What is important is how you as a teacher in your current life can make these texts and philosophies relevant, understandable and useful to yourself and your students.

This workshop will focus on teaching modern Yoga that matters and is evolving, while keeping the light of traditional Yoga shining bright. We will dive into the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, two of the foundational texts of Yoga. We will look at specific sections, varying translations and your own experienced learning in your life. We will construct lesson themes shaped around our explorations.

‘Yoga Sequencing for Real Bodies’
Using Movement and Anatomy to help students find freedom beyond ‘poses’

This workshop is addressing a need in Yoga to look at bodies and movements rather than poses and ‘ideals’. So many of the bodies that come to Yoga require opening up, freedom, space and connection to potential and possibilities.  

Through honing in on the fundamentals of joint movement, structural potential, and common limitations, we will create a map of how bodies can move and what can be accessed. We will look at how to sequence movements based on bodies and not poses how how poses can be enjoyed through an understanding and integration of a solid foundation. 

Saturday 
2.30pm - 6pm

‘Being a Real Teacher’
Using Self Awareness and Reflection to teach from your Heart

This workshop will be an opportunity to connect to your centre and hone in on why and how you teach. We will look at the demands on teachers psychologically and how to navigate common issues, pitfalls and responsibilities. We will hone in on what is needed of a teacher in today’s Yoga landscape and how you can flourish and thrive, giving yourself and your students the best you can.
