EYTS: Intro to Gentle Yoga
August 27 - September 2
Australia
Your students, friends and family members might have significantly limited flexibility, serious pain or illness, or be recovering from an injury or surgery. You want to help but are not sure what they need.
A teacher meets students where they are at and moves them to a whole new place within themselves. In your Gentle Yoga classes, you lead them into getting younger, happier, healthier and more joyful. And they discover bliss. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda
Gain the tools you need to safely and effectively work with ‘outside-the-bell-curve’ students. Learn special modifications for these students’ needs as well as your own. Help them find a new lease on life, supporting their transformation in how they think and feel about their body.
This training has given me a new layer/depth of understanding. Having new poses to teach and use in my own practice is exciting. It is a perfect course to continue and expand my knowledge. – Beverly M.
Begin with what you learned in Foundations of Svaroopa® Yoga. This is why you must teach four Intro Yoga classes before you come to the Gentle training — so you are fresh and full of the joy of sharing Svaroopa® yoga.
- Simply teach a friend or family member a few poses. Do it 4 times. It can even be the same poses every time.
- Pick someone who needs yoga but is not a Gentle Yogi, as you won’t have those skills until you’ve done the Gentle training.
- Share the Magic 4 with them, or the Four on the Floor or other poses. Then lead them through a Guided Awareness in Shavasana.
- They’ll love it! And so will you.
After your training, you will personalize poses and adjustments for seniors and for those recovering from illness or injury. You know how to design and present a six-week series for them, in which they get rapid and dramatic improvements in their body, mind and heart. They are often able to mainstream into your regular classes once they’ve completed your Gentle Yoga series.
This is an EYTS (Enrich Your Teaching Skills), a Continuing Ed course. These courses deepen your base in the primary poses while giving you an important selection of advanced teaching protocols. These are not certification courses because they do not include our at-home mentoring program (DTS – Develop your Teaching Skills). Yet they significantly expand your professional skills as a Svaroopa® yoga teacher. They also bring you into current standing.
This 7-day training includes elements of our comprehensive certification program for Seniors & Adaptive Yoga Teacher, part of our Yoga Classroom Therapeutics curriculum. In Intro to Gentle Yoga, you learn many of the classroom therapeutics that empower you to meet your students where they are at and move them to a whole new place.
