Gentle Yoga Teacher Training
July 18 & 19, 2009
Join the teachers of Holy Cow Yoga Center (Beth Rice, Linda Shoyer, Michele Wilson and Anna Cox) for this informative and inspiring weekend. Designed to give you the tools to modify a class, teach a class with props and provide options to those who are challenged by a vinyasa class.
Saturday - 11:00-2:00
We'll begin this weekend with general guidelines for a restorative practice. The session will also include a gentle vinyasa practice with an emphasis on modifications and variations.
Saturday - 3:00 - 6:00
Our afternoon session will consist of long-holding or "yin" style poses assisted with the use of props and a discussion of asanas for common injuries. We will include various pranyama practices for stress relief and end with a guided meditation.
Sunday - 9:00-12:00
Our am session features asana with the use of straps, blocks, pillows and the wall with an emphasis on the many possibilities of making a particular posture more accessible to everyone.
Sunday - 1:00 - 4:00
We'll wrap up our day with learning how to use the chair for populations and situations where the floor may not be an option. We'll also learn some "partner poses" (gentle style) and the practice will culminate in an assisted Savasana which will treat the body to its most optimum alignment for a deep relaxation.
