3 Thursdays in November

6-9:00pm

This workshop series is designed to compliment a teacher training course. It is for those who wish to develop and practice fundamental skills for structuring and teaching a yoga class. It is also useful for new or current teachers who would like to recieve feedback on their teaching or are looking for inspiration and new ways to teach beginner poses

Workshop themes will include the fundamentals of:

• Finding Creativity in Your Classes

• Incorporating elements of Restorative Yoga into regular Classes
  

• Identifying and Working with Student Injuries

This series of workshops will help to develop confidence in teaching by allowing for teaching time each week. Teaching, like our yoga practice requires practice and repetition in order for us to start to feel more natural and comfortable in front of a class. The only way to get rid of our fears is to face them!

These workshops will be the safe space where we can do that.

intents.
