YIN/ YANG YOGA TEACHER TRAINING INTENSIVE FOR TEACHERS AND DEDICATED PRACTITIONERS with SARAH POWERS
Course Description
This course is intended to deepen one’s understanding of the experiential, philosophical and practical application of Yin and dynamic yoga. It is intended for those with at least 2 years of practice or more. This intensive will deepen one's ability to teach/practice both a receptive Yin style and an active slow flow or Yang style of yoga with an interest in promoting a conducive inner environment for meditation. Please come with a basic understanding of the practices (having read Sarah’s book Insight Yoga), and a strong interest in committing to the further exploration of yoga.
This is a 5-day 25 hour yoga alliance training and attendance in the entire program is required. Each day will include over 2 hours on Yin Yoga and 2 hours on Yang Yoga.
Asana
The physical discipline of hatha yoga centers on the harmonious embodiment of postures. How we practice these postures is as important as which asana we choose and how we orchestrate them. Increasing our repertoire of different ways to practice allows us to vary our sequences at different times in our life, continually keeping the practice appropriate as well as fresh and alive.
In this training we will explore:
• Yin Yoga- how, why and when to practice this style safely and effectively
• Organ health and Yoga practice (sequences for the kidneys, liver, etc.)
• Balancing the Yin style with a Yang practice to support structural strength and stability
• Proper physical alignment in active postures
• The primary focus of ujjayi breath in asana: length, depth and direction
• Mindful attitudes in asana.
• Sequencing of postures for various levels, from the beginner to the intermediate.
• How to assist those with injuries
• The use of touch and hands-on adjustments
• Skillful verbal communication
• The teacher/student relationship
• Subtle body anatomy according to Yogic and Chinese philosophy
• Meridian theory and Chinese Medicine
