A Teachers' Immersion and Training 

The contemporary yoga scene can feel geared toward achievement: doing complicated poses in a hot room with loud music, all motivated toward an aesthetic goal. But yoga is a tool for inner awareness, and the softer styles can get us there with no sweat needed. Students need these calming classes, led by centered, capable teachers, in order to feel the union of mind, body, and spirit. 

In this program, you'll develop comfort with comfort as you build the skills to offer your students restful yoga classes that guide them toward connection. Through practice, lecture, discussion, and peer teaching, you will:

• Survey the science of nervous system regulation and the physical, psychological, and spiritual necessity of rest.
• Explore best practices for teaching gentle yoga, yin yoga, restorative yoga, and yoga nidra, both as standalone classes and in combination.
• Learn the simple formulas for creating balanced, relaxing, inclusive classes in each format.
• Design artful hybrid classes that will leave students feeling nourished and eager for more.
• Workshop prop usage and placement to invite students into greater ease.
• Brainstorm cues that land with the right language at the right time to unlock deep peace.
• Find the right balance of sound and silence to guide students inward toward connection and rest.

After the program ends, you will leave with:

• Lesson plans for gentle, yin, and restorative classes—and the readiness to lead them
• A customizable template for creating yoga nidra scripts
• A swipe file of clear, inspiring language to use in class
• The confidence to teach grounding restful classes, series, and workshops

Come learn to offer students what they need for stress reduction, self-awareness, and a sense of wholeness.
