Yoga is an incredible tool for helping practitioners improve their lives; however, as teachers we may find it challenging to consistently create focused, asana-based sequences that provide students with the particular benefits they seek. Join Hayley Winter for a 75-minute workshop on sequencing that is based in theory and includes practical practice. You will learn: · How to identify the benefit of a yoga pose that speaks to what your students seek · How to utilize this knowledge to inform your yoga sequence designs · How to deconstruct asana to create sequences that help your students receive the benefit

Deepen your understanding of the language of yoga—Samskrutam, or Sanskrit. In the first part of this series, presenters Prashant and Manju Joshi reviewed the basics of Sanskrit. In part two, they bring our focus to the consonants. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced teacher, this workshop series is for you. We will discuss the relevance of Samskrutam for both yoga teachers and practitioners, as well as how to grow in your own practice and teaching. During this session, attendees will: · Have an opportunity to see, hear, and practice the consonants of Samskrutam · Learn corresponding chakras · Build upon their current yogic vocabulary Viewing Part 1 isn't necessary for attendance, but helpful.
