11/5 & 11/6 Proprioception and Use of Ethical Touch
2024-11-09 12:30 - 18:30
Course Overview

The intention of this 12-hour weekend intensive is to provide additional tools yoga teachers and yoga therapist trainees can use to assess and support their clients. We will discuss ethics and consent, hand placement and quality of touch, longevity and safety for the Yoga Therapist as related to transference and body mechanics, and how clear verbal and visual cues can provide a similar result without using touch when it may be contraindicated. Touch can help improve musculoskeletal imbalances, breath awareness, proprioception and provide security and connection, and our sense of touch provides us with essential information for enhancing kinesthetic learning.

11/23 & 11/24 The Yoga of Relationships
2024-11-23 12:30 - 18:30
Course Overview

Relationships can serve as a primary source of suffering or joy. This intensive will give students an in-depth study of yogic philosophy and how it applies to relationships. Yoga is about transformation. As we learn to improve communication, we are empowered, and we begin to change. As we interact with others, this change can start to permeate the lives of others.
By understanding the Yamas, one of the eight limbs of yoga philosophy, we can find the direct applications of these teachings to our relationships and use this knowledge to upgrade them. We will focus on how to assess relationship issues, ask clarifying questions, and integrate appropriate practices to cultivate sattvic (balanced) relationships.
