The Art & Science of Adaptive Yoga — A Masterclass for Yoga Teachers

 

Are you a yoga teacher passionate about helping your students feel empowered in their

practice, no matter their body type?

This transformative workshop will help you become more confident in your ability to adapt asana and teach every body.

Danielle will help you uncover your teaching blind spots, learn the factors that influence

range of movement, and examine how our language and demonstrations might be leaving

some students out.

Part theory, part practice, this 4-hour masterclass will cover:

○ Yoga cues

Why many yoga cues are outdated, misguided, and potentially unsafe.

○ Skeletal Variation

Why understanding muscles and their functions are only part of the anatomy picture.

○ Language

How our language and demonstrations are leaving students feeling inadequate and

frustrated.

○ Class levels

Why the beginner/intermediate and advanced construct is all wrong.

○ Blind Spots

Why so many teachers have blind spots in their teaching.
