INTELLIGENT SEQUENCING & HANDS ON ADJUSTMENTS 100HR TEACHER TRAINING

One of the definitions of Vinyasa is that the breath and the movement are joined to create more of a flowing dynamic within the postures, another often unknown meaning of Vinyasa is an intelligent sequence of postures. The difference between an average class and a great class has a tremendous amount to do with the actual sequence of the poses (class). In this training you will learn the different genres of Asana and how to create an intelligent sequence for either your classes or your home practice. Sequencing comes in many forms... You can sequence the class with a peak pose in mind or you can focus on a certain genre of poses for the class.

There are three ways in which to teach a direction of action for a pose : verbal directions, demonstrating (visual), and physical hand on adjustments. My background in Ashtanga Yoga taught me a lot about hands-on physical adjustments and sometimes that’s exactly what a student needs. I will teach you many hands-on adjustments for basic postures and you will have the opportunity to practice adjustments with each other.  

Some topics covered in this training include: Asanas (postures), Pranayama (breathing techniques), Bandhas (subtle body energy tools), Seeing and Understanding Bodies, Anatomy, Modifications of poses, Chanting, Sequencing, Hands on Adjustments, and Meditation.

We have two full days to enjoy this dynamic, gleaming city, its modern vibe, its arts including the new MAP museum, its cafes serving the special Mangaloran cuisine, and its contemporary fashion boutiques. With Nicki, who knows this city well, we have an inside track experience. She will also be creating solace and peace for us in leafy Cubbon Park, in Lalbagh Botanical Gardens and in our hotel’s mature, tree-filled 20-acre grounds.

Our Bengaluru hotel is the city’s top hotel, a historic landmark in the city-centre, in a cocoon of lush gardens; fully renovated, exceptional services.

Three full days to see Mysuru and its surroundings. In this city of palaces, we visit inside some of them to imbibe the legendary Maharaja of Mysore’s fairytale life. Around it, we visit Somnathpur’s temple coated in exquisite carving, Sravanabelgola sacred to Jains, hero Tipu Sultan’s summer palace which he lost to the British, and some good silk weavers - so important it is a state industry. Throughout our time, Nicki shares her favourite places and our Mysuru hotel is a historic hotel in the city centre dating from the British period, thoroughly renovated.

It is where all park trips and walks start and end, and its resident naturalists are excellent and help us enjoy the birds, animals, trees and the full experience of ecology and today’s conservation work - the animal we are likely to spot is lots of elephant.

During our two and a half days here, we can take part in as much of the daily park routine as we wish, and Nicki will be creating special moments for us in beautiful spots. We shall plan our days to include early morning and sunset drives through park with naturalists, walks and meetings with naturalists and local people, visits to conservation projects, etc. Meals, included in our accommodation price, follow the traditional safari system: breakfast, lunch, teatime, dinner.
