about the course

As Yoga Teachers, we are practicing the communication of Yoga, which cannot ultimately be understood through words.
But in our efforts to clearly share the techniques of yoga, we can sometimes provide the opportunity to Connect.
When we can learn to speak from our own internal experiences and insights, we have our best shot at striking the clearest note. Our internal tuning creates a resonance that allows others hear the harmony within themselves.
This workshop is designed to provide the space for you to drop more fully into yourself, which can be new and difficult. We will strengthen your confidence in your findings and facilitate the experimentation with the languaging. We are all in this together. Learning how to feel, trust and speak is beneficial for your students and absolutely essential for your Heart.
Tuning to the teacher within is an ongoing process of self discovery and investigation. Sign up.
