Teachers Workshop: The Art of Assisting & Adjusting

Date:
02-Apr-2023
Time:
12:30pm - 3:00pm
Instructor:
Aura Reverol

Offering assists, adjustments and proper modifications to students requires observation skills, awareness of body mechanics and movement, familiarity with the posture, and effective communication skills. The goal is to assist so that students can find steadiness, comfort and deepness within the posture.

 

This carefully designed workshop into the art of assisting and adjusting, will deepen your skills to empower your students to find what is appropriate for themselves to be able to progress in their practice. We will talk as well about ethics and boundaries when adjusting so we can better understand as teachers our role and impact on students, and also to develop awareness of the different emotions that can be observed in the classroom, and how assisting or adjusting can affect those emotions and feelings.

Yoga Philosophy Workshop

Yoga Philosophy Workshop

Date:
22-Apr-2023
Time:
2:00pm - 5:00pm
Instructor:
Aura Reverol

 Patanjali named the second “pada” or chapter of the yoga sutras Sadhana Pada, Sadhana means practice, Patanjali presents here specific practices that take the aspirant of yoga from tamas to sattva, or from darkness to light. This pada answers relevant questions upon which the yoga practitioners must reflect as part of their sadhana: What is the root of our thoughts? How do thoughts affect our life? What are the means to minimize or weaken our thought process?

 

Practicing yoga without being familiar with the yoga sutras is like being a doctor that has never read a medical book. Please come join us in this workshop where we will explore the first part of the second chapter of the Yoga Sutras. Material with translation of the sutras to be studied will be provided.


This Workshop will include a short break in the middle.
