CE Workshop | The Art of Asking: How to Teach Inquiry-Based Yoga Classes

A yoga class is a fine balance of the objective and the subjective: the yoga teacher offers a sequence and suggestions, and each student learns, experiences and integrates the class content differently. We know our students are unique individuals; so how can we offer classes that leave space for those differences while leading a group? In this workshop, Erin Ehlers will offer a short asana sequence to demonstrate how to balance objective instructions and posing questions to develop your students’ understanding of themselves. In our discussion, you will learn:

· How asking your students the right questions can inspire self-reflection
· Examples of how to cue these moments of inquiry and instigate awareness
· How inquiry can enhance your teaching and infuse your classes with a sense of curiosity

CE Workshop | Self-Regulation, Part 1: Dissecting Detachment

Lean into the wisdom from The Bhagavad Gita to implement emotional, physical, and cognitive self-regulation tools to improve your daily life both as a teacher and student. This three-part series on self-regulation will begin by exploring how to create a healthy foundation of detachment which in turn can support you in building a thriving physical, personal, and professional life of non-attachment.

In this workshop, you'll learn:

· The meaning of detachment and how you can apply this concept in your daily life
· How to introduce detachment as a yoga teacher and connect it with poses and meditation
