Yoga Teacher Clinic: How to Read Bodies

starts Friday 24 june 2022 at 15:00

This 3-hour workshop is taught in English

Yoga La Source and Jivamukti Yoga Luxembourg are very happy to collaborate together in the organization of this workshop with Joan Hyman.

Joan Hyman has been giving teacher trainings internationally for years as director of hatha yoga teacher trainings for Wanderlust (Joan's bio) and independently.

Whether you are a teacher or yoga practitioner, join Joan in this 3-hour clinic (15:00-18:00) to understand correct alignment and how to use props to support postures and prevent injury. This clinic is specifically designed to improve how to read bodies in order to make adjustments that meet students' individual needs. We will learn how to increase longevity in one's practice by studying the anatomy in poses and learn how to stack the bones so muscles can work in an optimal way. This clinic will help to improve your confidence as a teacher by refining your instruction, the use of props, and learning to adjust to your individual needs and those of others.

We will slowly climb up each platform of the body and refine each section to create stability and support in vulnerable places like the knees, low back, and neck. Joan will open with a brief discussion of the anatomy of the bones and muscles that support each section before moving into a workshop-style practice using wall space and props to help to align the bones and teach how to engage deeper muscles needed to support the joints. Joan will look at different bodies and point out areas that are dull (tamasic) or overworked (rajasic) and teach how to find balance (sattvic) in these areas. Gain an understanding on how to work with props and wall space to align from the inside-out and light up the postures helping one's practice to feel buoyant and leave the body feeling transformed.

This workshop is beneficial for all teachers regardless of yoga style. If you are not a teacher but are interested, email us.

Also join Joan for her weekend workshop Making Ashtanga Accessible for Everyone June 25th-26th. Her Indian retreats are one of nine recommended by Yoga Journal.
