Vinyasa Flow Teacher's Intensive with Seane Corn
Monday & Tuesday, May 14 & 15, 2012
3:30 - 5:30pm

Teaching Vinyasa Flow Yoga can be a creative and effective way to take your students on a transformational journey uniting mind, body and Spirit. As well as being physically challenging, this dynamic practice is an inspirational and effective way to open students to the beauty and potential of their own Spiritual purpose. In this special intensive geared towards both certified yoga teachers, or intermediate students with 3+ years of yoga experience and a solid understanding of the sun salutations, Seane will discuss the fundamental principals of Vinyasa Flow Yoga (linking movement with breath) and how to teach this popular form of yoga in a responsible, creative and heart-centered way. This workshop explores the three realms of consciousness - physical/mental, energetic/emotional andpsychic/ symbolic - and how to utilize these principles in your personal practice, as well as the classroom. Understanding these three ?'realms'' can ultimately enrich our practice, provide depth and awareness, and offer an uplifting and inspirational environment for healing and inner-investigation. Applying these tools to a classroom can help us to: teach asana more clearly and intelligently, maintain an organized and well-paced Vinyasa sequence, use Spiritual themes to facilitate an environment for insight, as well as, guide our students to reach beyond the body and into the heart through intention, reflection and prayer.

This course is open to the public and can also be applied as credit hours towards certification in the 300-Hour Teacher Training Program. Teachers who are enrolled in the training, as well as those taking the course independently, can receive a certificate of completion upon request that is applicable for Yoga Alliance CEUs.
