When You Work with Yoga: Advanced Skills
Friday 5:30 - 8:30 PM / Saturday 7:30 AM - 7:30 PM. /. Sunday 7:30 AM - 1:30 PM
The Advanced Skills Weekends are less fixed by agenda. Our team of trainers will be teaching advanced skills workshops for challenging poses, hands on adjustments, better sequencing, teaching mastery, advanced meditation, pranayama, and other yoga practices. But we'll also be inviting guest teachers from the areas of interest YOU (and your peers) specify on your wish list, and YOU (and your peers) will also teach a class or workshop in this segment. This makes each of the Part 3 weekends completely unique each year, and more like a yoga conference, with a wider variety of voices, wisdom, and expertise to experience. More detailed agendas will fall into place as we get closer, but the overall experience will leave you feeling much more experienced, confident, and skillful in all aspects of living and teaching yoga.
