This training is designed for yoga teachers who wish to deepen their understanding, practice and teaching of advanced yoga postures.
Over this weekend we will learn how to break down advanced asanas into safe easy steps which we will both practice and learn to teach. You will have two days devoted to the practice, teaching and correction of postures, allowing you to further develop and refine your teaching skills.
Through the practice and study of a variety of advanced postures, we will explore preparatory exercises and progressions, technical and alignment principles, corrections and adjustments, as well as key precautions to consider when supporting each student appropriately.
A practical training designed to develop a teaching approach to advanced postures that is precise, progressive, safe and adapted to each student’s individual abilities.
