Calling all yoga teachers!
This dynamic, intimate 3-day yoga teacher training will provide you with therapeutic knowledge and core competency that will set you apart from the norm.
Are you feeling lost when it comes to handling injuries and giving the right modifications as a yoga teacher?
Are you scared of accidentally making things worse, so you hesitate to help students through certain poses?
Do you struggle in mixed level yoga classes to find a balance between meeting the needs of injured students while keeping the rest of the class engaged?
Do you find it challenging to communicate with injured students, understand their limits, and gain their trust as a yoga teacher? Need tips on effective guidance and modifications?
Are you feeling the squeeze of time constraints and the pressure to keep the class going while caring for an injured student?
Do you get emotional seeing students in pain – overflowing with empathy, but unsure how to provide the right support?
We totally get it! That's why we're here to help.
In this training you will:
Gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to handle student injuries and limitations in your yoga classes!
Learn to create a safe, inclusive yoga environment that puts student well-being first and supports your growth as a teacher.
Practice the Vesselify School of Yoga’s method that offers a deep and efficacious approach to asana practice with the goal of enhancing what it means to be in a body.
Develop the confidence to serve students with limitations and special needs specific to the upper body (shoulders, upper back, jar, neck, elbows, wrist, etc) in community with other high-level yoga teachers under Amy’s caring eye.
Receive the tools to stand out as a teacher who can speak to many populations, effectively address student’s physical limitations, and provide compassionate solutions for students with lower body challenges.
AND you will walk away with tools to confidently teach full yoga group classes as well as private yoga sessions with more empathy, expert skills, and courage.
As athletic yoga classes are becoming the industry norm, safety and individualized attention are becoming less and less emphasized in many yoga classes.
Through intelligent body mechanics, structural integrity, and a workable understanding of anatomy, we aim to make yoga accessible to all those who wish to benefit from this extraordinary practice!
