Teaching Through the Subtle Bodies
with Swami Vidyananda, E-RYT 500, C-IAYT
April 11 - 15, 2018
This workshop will focus on designing Yoga classes for mind-body wellness by working through the koshas. By understanding these subtle bodies (the physical, energetic, emotional, intellectual, and bliss layers of the self), you can use them as a practical and profound tool to create a deeper Yoga practice for your students and Yoga Therapy clients.
You will learn to work through the koshas with postures, breath-work, and perennial Yoga wisdom (Raja and Jnana Yoga).
You will explore:
- The psychological and emotional impact of Yoga poses
- Working through the mind to heal the body
- Grounding meditation in the different koshas
- Pranayama as a healing tool
- Using the koshas as an assessment tool
- Designing classes/individual sessions using all the koshas
Our goal is to help our students live a life of joy and balance. Yoga can show the way.
