Sattva Yoga Shala
Registered by Yoga Alliance
Aspiring to become a teacher? Looking to greatly deepen your understanding of this practice? This year long experience is for anyone who shows genuine interest in learning.
Course content:
The initial emphasis will be to take your practice to a much deeper level, and to create an environment that is conducive to learning.
First will be a self evaluation, making it clear where each student stands, as to make the next step possible
to a conscious evolution. The principles learnt will be basic to asana but they are also fundamental to such approach as dance and martial arts.
Yogic & Taoist Philosophy as the basis or inspiration to your approach.
Breath & Vinyasa- Learning the mechanism of breath and its affect on the physical body, on the emotional body, and on the mental body.
Bandha & posture- Optimizing and understanding bandhas and their affect on one's body. Bringing this understanding to the various asanas with a clear purpose of circulating the energy flow in the body.
Drishti- Bringing the state of mind that makes yoga a transformative process.
Nutrition/ayurveda/herbology/living foods. Mixing ancient and modern views on this subject. (Guest speaker)
Anatomy- Learning very specific anatomy that goes along with the course content. Basic anatomy will be part of the suggested readings. (Guest speaker)
Esoteric anatomy, to understand how this practice is beyond the physical body.
Chanting- We will explore several aspects of the voice and its use in breaking through blockages in the body. (Guest speaker)
Meditation- Bringing a meditative state to all our practices, various approaches will be explored.
|
|
|
The second aspect of the training will involve gaining the confidence and developing the skills that will allow you to transmit your own experience through:
Using words, to give concise & progressive verbal instruction
Adjustments, both safe and clear
Reading into the postural imbalances of the students
