Value | $325

Asana Yoga is an ancient tradition, but how does it apply and appeal to the physiology of today’s population?

Learn how to question your sequencing, rather than just string it together. What is the purpose of your transitions? If you are working to a peak pose, what makes it a peak pose, and what benefits will an individual gain from working into it and the journey that leads them there?
Fascia plays a huge role in our day-to-day movements. It holds on to patterns and traumas making it an intricate player in any activity we embark upon. Yoga is a beautiful mechanism for tapping into this anatomy. Learn the answers to questions like:
What are facial tissues?
What is a load story?
How do we read an individual’s load story, and then utilize that knowledge to create a practice that speaks beneficially to that story?

Learn techniques to integrate rolling and creative sequencing into any practice in a way that will help you deliver an informed practice beneficial for all practitioners.

In the Asana Adjustments weekend workshops we will cover how to adjust postures in three forms: physical, verbal, and energetic. We will discuss how to hands on adjust the postures in a way that is unique to the individual and understands the underling anatomical implications. An adjustment needs of course the participants approval and is done in a way that suggests rather than directs. Intelligent adjustments are introduced that address the individual as just that, an individual in the moment.

Anatomical knowledge and awareness of the subtle energy and function of joints helps us to understand more clearly what physical aspects of the person's body are allowing or restricting the ability to do a pose. Observation allows us to see more clearly the physical aspect of the pose and what needs to change. The adjustment then delivers the feedback of what is observed so that the student can further explore the pose.

Trauma-informed care (TIC) incorporates an understanding of the frequency and effects of early adversity on an individual’s functioning across the life span. Applying TIC to yoga teaching training differs from trauma resolution therapy. Rather than focusing on specific interventions, TIC seeks to create a safe environment for clients that enables trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment so that clients can experience healthy relationships with others and themselves.

Yoga practitioners will learn to self-reflect on the ways that their own beliefs, values, attitudes, and experiences Intersect.

Yoga practitioners know that Yoga helps regulate someone’s nervous system. Working with a polyvagal lens they can deepen their knowledge on postures that help really stimulate or de-stimulate a client's nervous system depending on the type of stress and trauma they are experiencing

Modern yoga reflects a different physiological and even emotional story than it did thousands of years ago.  With a society that encourages as much time sitting as it does exercising in rigid directions, our bodies are starting to hold stories that are denied of the natural movement we were born to experience.  In this weekend program, we will dive into the world of fascial tissues, the very pages in which our load stories are written upon. Reveal a fundamental understanding of the fascial body. Apply your newfound knowledge to teaching a yoga practice that goes beyond just the yoga by integrating unconventional movement which rewrites some of the rules of alignment and explores the truest potential that our innate bodies are capable of.
