You will learn how to sequence class plans and modify poses for the many bodies you will encounter as a teacher.
Just the Classes
Earth & Water
Let relaxation sink into your bones, and feel your stress flow away in this artful masterclass. Designed to ground the whirlings of your mind and ease the waves of your emotions, this practice will connect you to your legs and hips. This practice will focus on the first and second chakras of the Hindu energy system.
Fire & Wind
Burn away the old and breathe in the new. By working with detoxifying twists, scrumptious spinal movements, and yummy heart openers, you will experience a wonderful restoration of energy and cultivate room for more joy in your life. This practice will focus on the third and fourth chakras of the Hindu energy system.
Sound & Light
Your body is your instrument--come, tune your strings to play a more melodic note. Through delicious neck and jaw releases, we will unwind the burdens we carry around all day and free ourselves to speak our truth and improve our mindful listening. With potent eye yoga exercises, we will strengthen the ocular muscles and relieve strain on the optic nerves. This practice will focus on the fifth and sixth chakras of the Hindu energy system.
Ether & Space
This gentle yet transformative class takes practitioners on a journey from root to crown of the Hindu energy system. By freeing up blockages in each of the seven energy centers of the body, we clear a path for freshly oxygenated blood and prana to flow into our entire being. The results leave you feeling relaxed, calm, invigorated and vibrant. This practice will focus on all seven chakras of the Hindu energy system.
