9/17-9/19: Practicing Yoga from the Inside Out – Workshops For Teachers and Experienced Students with Jeff and Donna (Tempe Studio)
What is an ‘energy leak’ in a yoga pose? Where do misalignments originate from? Can yoga be used to heal? How can I use dharana or concentration in yoga classes to change my life? Join Jeff and Donna for a weekend designed for experienced students and teachers that will stretch your understanding of what it means to practice yoga and expand your concept of what it means to teach and truly learn.
This class is for teachers and experienced students and may be taken for CEUs for teachers and/or applied toward the new 200 hour Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapy Training Certification.
Friday 6:00-8:30pm 2.5 hrs: Alignment, Psychology and Energetic Anatomy Learn what alignment is in a yoga pose and why we aspire to attain it. Through direct experience and study of the bhandas, chakras and the flow of energy in your own and other’s bodies, learn how to apply inspirational alignment principles tailored to your own body so that you may use this knowledge in your own practice and with others. Saturday 12:00-2:30pm 2.5 hrs: Common misalignment habits in basic poses and how to make them your teachers Patanjali gives only three sutras on asana yet they are most profound instruction in not only changing a pose but transforming your life. Learn how to change the outer form first by becoming aware of the inner intention, making the unconscious conscious. Using verbal cues, energetic touch, modeling, over-emphasis and deconstructing of the pose you will experience many different ways to access your core beyond form.
Saturday 3:30-6:00pm 2.5 hrs: Conscious Use of Anatomy and Focus in a Yoga Class
Whether you are teaching yourself or others, an asana-based class has the potential to be a transforming event in your day and life. Using a few of the Yamas and Niyamas as guides we will learn the basic ‘chapters’ of a yoga class and what poses to include as you build your motions into the stillness of savasana and meditation. Learn how to: use pranayama as a tool of dharana, make poses more aerobic, custom build new poses for your class, build to a target pose, consciously use theme, how to counter-pose and avoid over fatigue of one side in flow or vinyasa classes and more.
Sunday noon-2:30pm 2.5 hrs: Master Class with Jeff and Donna
Experience a Master Class with Jeff and Donna where you can apply the principles of Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation) in a way that will transform your life. Learn how the most subtle action (thought) leads to conscious and unconscious choices in the midst of directed asana, exploring poses that challenge our strength, change our self-concept and re-align our internal vision. All levels welcome, includes deep savasana guided meditation and individual attention to alignment.
