Overview:
Advanced Studies (AS) is an opportunity for interested and dedicated students to deepen their practice and understanding of topics only lightly touched on in a ‘regular class’. AS is not a teacher training program.
Content:
The AS program provides a solid introduction to the alignment and dynamics of asana (yoga poses) along with the significance of the breath in a yoga practice. An overview of yoga philosophy and theory gives context to the practice.
Every class will be asana-based with more time and emphasis spent on alignment details, ujjayi breath technique, anatomy facts, and answering your questions in a small group setting.
In addition, each workshop is designed with an in-depth focus on a particular topic like sun salutations, yamas & niyamas, bandhas, chakras, meditation, subtle body and koshas, balance, inversions, and the legends and stories related to pose names and yoga history.
Instructors:
Hanna Malm, Jen Martin, Karen Johnson, Leonora Willis, Mary Beth Ray, Theresa Kelly
Prerequisites:
Dedication to practice and an interest in more depth than what is offered in a ‘regular’ yoga class.
Upon Completion:
Graduates of AS, are eligible to enroll in the Level II Workshops.
Graduates are also better prepared to enroll in the Teacher Training Level I (FYTT I) program, though it is not a prerequisite for that program.
