ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING
Moving From the Organs: Application of Yoga as Therapy
20-hour certification
We often focus on practicing our poses from the spine, arms and legs. But the ancient teachings of yoga also dealt with opening and quieting the organs of the body, like the heart, kidneys and liver that are found in the “kunda” or vessel holding these organs.
During this training we will focus on specific poses that create a healthy balance of the organs in the chest and abdomen, as well as explore the theories of why they work. All types of asana and poses will be studied, including backbends, inversions, forward bends and twists. We will also spend some time on specific therapeutic applications that will be immediately applicable to ourselves and to our students. We will begin each day with a focus intention and then go directly to practicing Active poses. In the afternoon we will practice Quiet poses, meditation and pranayama. Throughout the workshop we will return our awareness to stabilizing and balancing from the inside as well as how to teach others to do so.
MASTER CLASS
The Art of the Forward Bend: Anatomy and Practice
Much of yoga asana are dependent on the ability to bend forward. The hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh can limit this action, of course, but there are other things which make forward bending difficult. How do the hips, lower back and rotator muscles contribute to a forward bend, for example, and what can we do about it?
In this master class, we will explore the anatomy and kinesiology of bending forward, as well as touch on the deeper meaning behind the surrender it takes, both physically and mentally, to practice forward bends with affection and ease.
Practice will encompass standing, seated and lying forward bends.
For teachers, teachers in training, and serious students.
