Series 1 – Focus: Standing & Balancing Postures

These sessions are being offered since not everyone has the time or means to pursue an apprenticeship. Whether or not you are teaching or exploring possible self-assists (intrigued students with a consistent practice), techniques and mechanics are always helpful to review and refine. We will explore how assists are intended to empower students and not make them/us reliant on the teacher, however skilled they are.

This course calls upon mindful precision and intention of contact yet casual in its exploratory nature. It will allow a more organic rate of comprehension than intensively within a course that would run longer. no pressure. Let’s see what you will come back to, take away and apply. Most importantly, put in the time and be patient.

The first day will begin with a review of hands on assists principles but will involve a practical segment soon after. The second day will begin with a brief Q&A from material/asanas covered Saturday and then move into practical segment again. If applicable, please review notes from sangyé tt so that we can cover more actual assists swap during our time together. Those who haven’t attended sys tt will be receive a copy in your registration email (dropped approximately 1 week prior).

The intention is to partner work/exchange in a purposeful (joy-full:). Invite a friend if you prefer to work with a specific partner. No problem – easier for 2 people to compare notes!
There will be a max cap – small group setting.
