Teacher Assistant Training
Total Cost - $475
Recieving an asist in a yoga pose can be an amazing experience. It makes you feel supported, connected to the group, acknowledged as a student and gives you a new awareness of your body.
Being assisted can also deepen or correct your form in the asana (pose) and it feels great...Like you are getting massaged while in your posture!
As yoga keeps growing and class sizes ever-expanding, the need for these skills is always increasing. Assisting is how we bridge the gap between large class sizes and how yoga was traditionally taught - on a one on one basis. It is essential to ensuring people, especially newer students, practice in functional and safe manner.
As a teacher - connecting with your students on a real and energetic level can be challenging. As is making the transition from 'instructing' to 'teaching yoga'. In this course 'touch' is key...Learning to use your hands (and body) practically and safely while heightening your students experience of your classes.
As a student - this is an invaluable insight into power vinyasa flow and considered the next step towards teaching. Also, as it's Module 2 of our Teacher Training course, it can be used as a credit towards that course, should you choose to become a yoga teacher.
Over the course you will learn the power vinyasa sequence and deepen your understanding of yoga, applying the principles of this anciant art to assisting and adjusting others. We also cover body awareness, functional movement patterns and an indepth look at about 50 postures. We focus on basic assists to advanced adjustments, learning to assist beginners and more expereinced yogis.
