Aloha everyone,

I wanted to share a little about my course as it develops…here is a rough initial description of what i will be focusing on, what it will include and what transformation will take place for participants as they progress through it. Thanks for looking it over:)

Yoga is a practice that is rich with metaphors and stories which can help us understand the practice and ourselves more fully. My course will bring this idea to life telling the story behind several key poses to help us see what they are truly teaching us on many levels (the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) and how this relates to our journey as humans awakening to our full potential.

I will be breaking down specific actions of the pose and the quality that it inspires (ie: pressing your feet down to feel grounded and connected) to help students feel that quality within themselves. Each pose and action will be coupled with journaling exercises that help guide the participants into explorations of different areas of our lives (past, present, future) that we can activate these tools for deeper understanding.

At the end of the course participants will have:

-established a daily yoga and journaling practice

-developed tools for focusing their mind to find more clarity and awareness

-all the benefits of asana practice: postural and breath awareness, core strength, deep systemic benefits, enhanced mobility and flexibility as well as improved strength and balance

-deepen their understanding of the key foundational and more subtle aspects of these 3 poses to practice safely and confidently (great for all levels from the beginner to the advanced practitioner or teacher)

-more knowledge about their own anatomy as we learn about the muscles required to perform the actions as well as the ones that are being released and stretched

-feeling of empowerment as they integrate these important qualities into their lives

Looking forward to creating more and more and hearing your thoughts on this idea so far:)
