Energetic Alignment and Hands-On Assists: Essential Tools for Teaching Flow

For all levels; min. 6 months yoga experience.

Each asana has its own energetic alignment based upon the movement of prana, energy lines, and the relationship of opposites in the body. An integrated understanding of this movement allows you to open and strengthen the core structures of embodiment from head to toe, and from skin to subtle body.

In this workshop, you learn to

• Teach five primary alignment actions in every pose, including foot patterns, spiral actions of the legs, position of the pelvis, spinal alignment, and support of the neck
• Sequence vinyasa combinations with skill, effectiveness, fluency, and creativity
• Apply Shiva Rea’s three-part vinyasa methodology to standing poses, backbends, arm balances, core abdominals, forward bends, hip openers, twists, and inversions as a base for more complex sequencing.

You leave this training with an interrelated understanding of the energetic alignment, actions, functions, and somatic qualities of 108 postures to include in your creative flows.

Note Tuition includes a manual. This course is approved by Yoga Alliance at the 200/500-hour level and is part of Shiva Rea’s 200/500-hour Yoga Alliance Certification Curriculum.
