Often, as our yoga and teaching practice blossoms, we find ourselves questioning how we can translate and infuse the wonderful philosophy that inspires us from ancient and modern texts, into coherent movement practices that support our students in authentic, relatable ways. We may begin to crave offering practices that feel rich, meaningful and structured, but that also have space for discovery and self-agency within that; so different bodies, abilities and energies can all simultaneously feel supported in a class.
And this can feel like a complex thing to balance! But a beautiful aspect of our space-holding growth can be found in discovering how the philosophy is already right here. Within the body, the felt sense, intuition, gut, reflectiveness & within the lessons from our own lived experiences. And by opening a conversation between the body and that wealth of insight, we might start to find the movement + philosophy interweave with ease and coherence, and our teaching blossom.
So I’d love to invite you to a workshop for teachers in practical ways to explore and share yoga philosophy in movement practices, without the clunkiness - looking at: cueing, language, somatic movement principals, breath techniques, embodied philosophy & how to share more inclusive practices by taking a curiosity-led approach to facilitation.
This could be really useful if you:
- Find yourself trying to shoehorn in philosophical quotes at end/beginning class to give more 'depth' or come across as a ‘super knowledgeable’ teacher (very human!)
- Are interested in offering a more somatic, enquiry-based, inclusive and conversational space, in which journey is prioritised over destination, and feeling prioritised over form.
- Are a yoga teacher wanting to share the philosophical ideas & texts that inspire you in classes, but don’t where to start.
- Feel a little stale, or like you have rehearsed cues or set sequences - perhaps taught to you in past teacher trainings – and are keen to find a more authentic, self-trusting way of teaching informed by your own unique voice.
- Notice yourself guiding classes solely focused on body/anatomical cues when really you want to share more.
- Are curious about deepening your relationship with language, expression & metaphor.
-Want to guide in a way that provides containment and structure for your students, but with space for freedom and exploration.
