The Very Special Yoga Teachers' Retreat with Cyndi Lee
Let’s spend four solid days together revisiting:
Our motivation
Our information
Our understanding
Our communication skills
Our hands-on adjustments
....Practicing together
Rocking Mornings OM yoga asana classes (2.5hrs)
It’s gonna take at least this long to get where we want to go -- mindfully moving into twisty binds, big backbends and longer, stronger inversions. Because we are all teachers here, you will get to work on material that you usually don’t get to practice in an average yoga class.
Cyndi will work with everyone to help you figure out where you are stuck, why, and how to get unstuck. Together we will learn a lot and have sweaty fun!
Chill out afternoons with Pranayama and Restorative
A balance to the morning and a path toward becoming intimate with ourselves. Meditation finishes each day to brighten our hearts as we meet the world.
In between:
Mid-day Methodology sessions will focus on “right view” for yoga teachers; honing the elegant practice of Teaching Yoga:
- Re-connecting to every category of pose; practicing language, hands-on, prop-page and patience.
- *Hands-on work: firm to subtle, pointing the way and properly supporting the student; knowing what is and isn’t truly helpful.
- Communicating the profound interdependence of alignment, body as map of the world.
- Integration of wisdom instructions with earthly actions.
- * How to walk your walk -- balancing market-driven offerings vs yoga from the heart.
- Establish yourself within yourself so you can fully manifest your yogi-life.
- Gain confidence in your very own specialness as a yoga teacher.
