This is not to be missed as a yoga teacher. The workshop will give you a fresh look at your yoga practice and teaching through the lens of science, explorative movements and inner awareness.

How does load and tension matter for preventing injuries in our movement practice, and how can we help our students to empower themselves to take charge of their own wellbeing and health on and off the yoga mat?

This is the workshop for yoga teachers who aim to teach sustainable classes that challenges concepts like core and breath, “correct” alignment, nervous system response of load and much more. The workshop will blend postures known from the yoga tradition, as well as functional movements and strength training, -always with love and passion for the incredible human body with all its possibilities.

Main take aways will be:

-How to guide your students to deeper listening and understanding of their own potential in their bodies. Cuing is essential for getting the message true, -we will discuss and try different ways to cue intelligent and efficient. 

-Understanding the spine as structure and facilitator of movement through the rest of the body.

-Learning tools to guide your students to find their core and maintaining healthy breathing patterns. 

-Finding new ways to think and guide alignment, -with a modern approach on asana and safety we will explore how to integrate external load for better resilience.

SCHEDULE

10-13 : All about the spine

-For anyone who ever struggled with backbends! Learning where the pelvis and spine are in space is crucial for doing, and teaching backbends that feel good time after time. We will explore what hip -and shoulder mobility mean to a happy back. There will be some talking and lots of doing as we move our spine in all directions.

13-14 Lunch

14-16 : Strength & flexibility

– It turns out that strength is what prevents injuries, rather than “correct” alignment. How can we add external load in our yoga practice to build joint resilience and gain both strength and flexibility? And what is mobility anyways? We will explore active and passive range of motion, true core strength and how its connected to the breath.

The workshop will be taught in English or Danish, on request.
