The Mastery & Art of Assisting & Adjusting 24-Hour Continuing Education Yoga Teacher Training & Advanced Yoga Studies August 17 - 19, 2012 Mendota Heights Center
Licensed by the State of Minnesota How This Training Will Hone Your Skills Offering assists and adjustments to yoga students is an art that requires highly developed observation skills, awareness of body mechanics and movement, intimate familiarity of the poses, and strong communications skills. The balance is to assist and adjust in such a way that students find their ultimate shapes without becoming teacher-dependent. In this carefully designed immersion into the art of assisting and adjusting you will deepen your teaching skills and bring to your students an openness and mind/body connection that advances their practice. What's more, you will get to know your teachers and the other students and receive one-on-one attention and interaction. Teachers successfully completing this coursework will have earned 20 contact hours and 4 non-contact hours. A certificate will be issued so that participating teachers can submit their hours to Yoga Alliance. Hours from this course also may be submitted to NETA for training credit. This training will differentiate you as a teacher. The foundation of the training rests on proper alignment. From there we develop (1) understanding that more is less when it comes to safe hands-on adjustments, (2) how to use the various forms of assisting and adjusting -- from verbal cues to directional signals to physical manipulation, (3) the role of props as tools in adjusting and assisting; (4) how to empower students to find personal levels of self-adjusting and -assisting safely without developing dependency. We will cover the following asanas in this training:
A Unique Approach to Assisting and Adjusting Training Hands-on Practice: Our 24-hour assisting and adjusting teacher training and advanced yoga studies is offered in an intensive weekend of total immersion. As with its other training, the cornerstone of the Green Lotus approach is to study assisting and adjusting not only by reading and through engaging lecture and discussion, but also by practicing the adjustments over and over again in mini-practices in small groups and to the group as a whole. Professionals to Teach Boundaries: Our training includes a seminar with experienced professionals in life coaching and psychotherapy so that we as teachers can better understand our roles and impact as teachers and also to develop awareness of the different emotions that can be observed in the classroom -- such as anxiety -- and how assisting and adjusting can affect those emotions and feelings. Real Students as Models: Best of all, our students will be given the opportunity to practice assisting and adjusting not only with each other, but also with Green Lotus yoga students who have applied to be models and who will be present at certain times during the weekend. This will give registered teacher-trainers first-hand experience in learning assists and adjustments with actual yoga students representing a wide range of skills and needs. Our Faculty
