Semester 2 Learning Focus
REFINE DELIVERY OF INDIVIDUAL & GROUP EXPERIENCES
While therapeutic yoga class teaching skills will continue to be developed, more emphasis will be placed on individual session delivery. By the end of the semester you will have gained confidence in delivering therapeutic yoga therapy experiences to a variety of populations and clients in varied professional settings.
- Practice consensual hands-on and supportive touch intended to support a deeper state of dropping-in and heighten a client’s interoceptive awareness
- Sequence therapeutic yoga class design for specific conditions, populations, and needs
- Develop a repertoire of assisted postures and variations
- Refine verbal skills (cueing and coaching) and dialogue techniques (enquiring and listening) to support clients integrate wisdom arising from their embodied experiences
- Begin using skills to establish an ethically sound practitioner/client relationship including protocol for client intake and assessment.
- Design and deliver contemplative therapeutic yoga classes
LEARNING BLOCK ON SUBTLE BODY
Founded in yogic philosophy, the Subtle Body is the various energetic layers that make up a human being beyond physicality. Through the lens of understanding that humans are multidimensional beings we’ll explore the connection of the subtle body with contemplative practices and their effect on the central nervous system.
- Applying yoga interventions for each area of the chakras and corresponding visceral cavities including key structures of gross anatomy, fascial, marma and nadi pathways
- Exploration of yogic views of energy and consciousness as they intersect with western anatomical and allopathic views of the body
- Deepening understanding of the koshas as layers of form and consciousness and various yoga interventions for each layer
SUPPLEMENTAL TOPICS
- The effect of trauma on the nervous system and the importance of including the body in healing trauma - introduction to polyvagal theory
- Eudaimonia: Faith in the human potential to grow beyond an acceptable state of wellness into bliss or flourishing
