Teachers' Enrichment Series
Teaching Yoga to Beginners
5-Week Course
$125
Next Intake: Spring 2009
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.
The course goes beyond the introduction of Asana and touches on the teaching challenge of the beginner-mind psychology. The course addresses methods through which we as teachers can inspire the fire of inquiry in the hearts and minds of our students, sending them forth along their path toward self discovery.
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 theory and asana practice. Organic herbal tea is provided.
