COURSE OUTLINE

History and Philosophy of Yoga

The history of Yoga and its introduction to the west, is a fascinating and important part of the study of Yoga. Yoga is a spiritual, physical and mental tradition that comes from India. Its important to both know this and acknowledge this, as we learn and teach from this tradition. The philosophy is the backbone of Yoga, and helps to give both context to the teachings, as well as offer us different perspectives on how to live our lives.

Meditation

A daily meditation practice is deeply important and equal to all other aspects of our Yoga practice. During this training our meditation practices will include active, breath, silent, mantra and visual. You will be supported to discover the form that is most meaningful to their practice.

Alignment and Postural Modifications

Over the course of one’s path to Yoga, alignment and the power to modify will make a radical difference to the depth of practice and to the subtleties of personal awareness and insight. We will study through experience as well as discussion, the best and most effective ways to modify for safety as well as alignment suitable for all.

Sanskrit and Mantra

Sanskrit is the language of Yoga, Mantras, Indian Vedic Philosophy and Spiritual Enlightenment. Learn about its history and subtle science of sound. Learn techniques for refined pronunciation. To hold the practice is to understand its language. To speak clearly from a basic knowledge will draw your voice and presence more skillfully into the room. Ground your education in the art of Sanskrit and enjoy the potency of Yoga both physically as well as vibrationally.

Anatomy and Physiology of Yoga

Both the subtle anatomy and physical anatomy will be explored in great detail during this course. Both in how to sequence poses, sequence classes and use our knowledge to create and understand the human body a little better. Each person is different but there are some basic guidelines that we use as teachers to teach who is in front of us, to the best of our ability.

Hands On Assist

A powerful tool. To support and administer the right touch for the maximum potential shift, including consent and the deeper awareness that the student and pose are perfect as they are. We are merely guides to offer a deeper understanding of the pose and experience. Learn how to assist without getting in the way of the student’s experience or making it about yourself, as well as consent and the ethics of touch and safe touch.

Pranayama

Literally means to extend the prana. To explore its intimate passage of our breath to our body, and through both, to ourselves. Prana translates as “life-force” and working skillfully with pranayama means to expand our life’s vital energy. Develop a personal pranayama practice, as well as learn how and why, to teach specific pranayama practices to students as well as build their own practices.
