Vinyasa Flow: A Teacher's Immersion
Yoga Kula Leeds/ Harewood Estate 5 day immersion course for teachers and teachers in training 35 hours of training October 9 - 13, 2020 Booking open! This 5-day immersion is aimed at refining and deepening the skills to teach safe and enriching vinyasa flow yoga. The course will explore sequencing templates and ideas for how to structure sound, creative classes, as well as take an in-depth look at adjusting and the energetics of touch. It will also include segments on overall safety; using effective language; working with individual students’ needs while holding collective space and integrating yogic philosophies and themes. Class time will be highly experiential and learning will be based on an interactive and participatory model of inquiry and exploration. Participants will work toward embodying their practice so that their experiences can be articulated and shared with students.
This will be the eighth year the immersion is running. The course includes a 100-page manual with sample classes and illustrated opening sequences and subsets, as well as sections on topics such as definitions and considerations of vinyasa, sequencing for efficient movement, and developing themes and narratives. This immersion is aimed at teachers and teachers in training, or students with at least three years of consistent yoga practice.
