Teaching Methodology 

Using the limbs of yoga and the kosha model

This class will weave teaching methods based on the limbs of yoga and the kosha model. These models lay the foundation of understanding the importance of sizing up your students as they enter the classroom to provide a practice that makes sense to what they want and need. Working within the framework of yoga traditions with an emphasis on health and wellness learn to sequence a class, use verbal cues, and looking at adjustments vs/ assistance.

Yoga for the Ages

 How does one teach to a variety of ages and issues?  All classes are all levels even when we label as beginner, intermediate, or advanced.  Each person attending comes to their mat with their own bagage and issues.  Whether a student is 20 or 60 years of age (or beyond) a yoga teacher is expected to provide a great class.   This 3 hour workshop will explore the multi aged class and issues that often present in the classroom and will discuss how yoga practice changes within each decade of life.
