Have you been wanting to take your own personal practice further and really explore correct alignment? Or as a teacher, do you want to refine your alignment cues and assists in order to safely lead your students on a journey each class, allowing them the opportunity to grow and progress in their practice. Learning to nurture students in this way is an art form. We want ourselves and others to practice in a way that will allow us to continue well into the future, instead of wearing our bodies out with repetitive incorrect alignment.
We interviewed Ari about his 50hr Yoga Teacher Training Course.
What will the teacher training weekends involve?
Each day begins with a deep dive into your yoga asana practice, we will move in a slow detailed way. Then we unpack what we have experienced through our live online circle. Learning how to break down the poses into great detail will allow for a better understanding of your overall practice. We also dive into some philosophy and understand the subtle energies alive within the postures. By exploring energetic alignment in the actions and patterns of movement in the asana you experience your yoga practice in a way you never have before.
Why do you believe a solid understanding of alignment and hands-on assists is important to the quality of someone’s yoga practice or teaching?
The best teachers are the most passionate students. I understand that the journey of Yoga is always evolving, there is always something to learn. This 50 hour module is a great way to test the waters of diving deeper into a 200 hour training. How far are you willing to dive in? Once you have experienced the postures in this detailed way you’re able to revisit them later through muscle memory. We are literally creating new neural pathways in the brain. Changing the way you think and changing the way you move.
Will this training also support development and growth within personal practice?
Absolutely!
Will verbal assists and self assists also be covered?
Yes! We explore various types of assists, corrections and adjustments.
Is the training beneficial to those who do not teach yoga?
Absolutely. It is really an exploration into your own practice. You know your body better than anyone. Once you understand some of the key actions of the postures and have awakened the energetics in your practice there is no limit to what you can do.
What makes you most passionate about emphasising correct alignment and assisting students?
Aside from really understanding posture and alignment, I am excited by the movements of Prana in the practice.
Is there any work that needs to be completed outside of the four day online hours?
There will be some homework and practice assists (peer to peer) before the accreditation.
