INCLUDED

We will spend half the course on adjusting and the other half of the course on sequencing.  

The bulk of the adjusting will be on physical adjusting. How to physically adjust, where to touch, when not to adjust. What works for some students may not work for others and why. We will be using props such as blankets, bolsters, blocks and straps as well to help students get into the most comfortable or better-aligned poses. We will spend time on the abdominal and core area of the body making sure the bandhas are activated and discuss softness and relaxation in asanas to find comfort. We will go through a long list of poses from the Ashtanga Primary Series as well as variations on those poses. 

 Before the course starts we will email all participants to find out what specific sequencing needs they would like to address in the course so we are able to bespoke the training to what you as a teacher want to learn.  We will discuss sequencing for specific injuries like back pain, hips and knees as well as sequencing to a less mobile population.  We will spend time on how to teach a private yoga class and we will also give you a practice student from outside the course to teach during the training.
