WildYoga Teacher Training: Fire Element
With Dennis Eagan, Eliza Kerr and Heather Sullivan
January 10 - 12, 2020
This will be our third WildYoga Teacher Training weekend based out of Studio M Yoga, where we will hone in on efficient, effective and sustainable approaches to yoga practice and teaching. The Fire Element teaches us to look at our words and actions with precision and discernment and to achieve our goals in a structured and empowered way. It is the perfect place in which to practice clarity and conciseness as a developing yoga teacher!
General Schedule:
Friday 6:00pm-9:00pm
Please arrive having eaten dinner as we begin with an asana practice at 6:30pm.
Saturday 6:30am-9:00pm
We will allow at least one hour for lunch and two hours for dinner.
Sunday 6:30am-4:00pm
We will allow at least one hour for lunch.
*Please note, once you are registered we will send you a more specific schedule via email. We generally take one outdoor field trip (weather permitting) per weekend, while the other full day is spent in the studio environment.
Curriculum:
Asana: We will break down, analyze and practice arm balances, inversions, core-strengthening poses and twists.
Pranayama: We will explore and discuss the sun and moon channel of the subtle body. We will practice and teach alternate-nostril breathing and potentially the fire breaths of kapalbhati and bhastrika.
Philosophy: We will read and discuss selected portions of the Bhagavad Gita and explore the transformational nature of yoga in your life.
Anatomy: We will review the digestive system and muscles of the core.
Student teaching: Students will continue teaching each other through a variety of safe and supported exercises. Those who feel ready will have the opportunity to teach an hour-long yoga class.
Please note:
Food and accommodation are not included in the course tuition, and students are responsible for making their own arrangements. Please feel free to contact us with questions.
