Welcome.jpgSpecial Topics Series
Teaching Yoga to Beginners
May 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30 from 1-3:30pm
$100 

This 5-week series guides new and experienced Yoga Teachers though the challenging task of successfully introducing yoga fundamentals to beginning students. Many teachers are unsure of what is essential at the introductory level and what should be omitted. This series follows the 4-week introductory series that Raenel has been successfully teaching for ten years, and which has helped her students grasp the fundamental physical aspects of yoga while gently inspiring and introducing more subtle aspects of the practice. This series is ideal for teachers who currently offer introductory classes or who plan to add them to their schedule in the future.

The week to week schedule is as follows: 

Week 1 - Sequencing Principles

Week 2 - Introducing Yoga

Week 3 - Elaboration

Week 4 - Building Intensity

Week 5 - Consolidation

These classes involve mainly asana practice with a short lecture/question period incorporated into the end of class. Organic herbal tea is provided.
