Teachers Upskill Immersion

25HRS TEACHERS UPSKILL IMMERSION

What makes a 'good' yoga teacher? Undeniably, knowledge, experience & integrity of what they teach do. But what are all the knowledge & passion worth without the skills & capacity to pass them on to others?


Led by Anne Eberhardt, with the support of special guest & voice coach Petra Rakic, this Teaching Upskill Immersion aims at deepening your practical knowledge & teaching techniques to foster confidence & take your teaching to the next level!

 

With 2 juicy practices each day, this is also your time to be nourished, inspired & enjoy time on the mat just for yourself!

This training focuses on 3 essential teaching skills:

>> VOICE: How to better understand this incredible tool, refine YOUR teaching voice & gain texture in your cueing.

>> SEQUENCING: Building classes that not only 'feel good' but also make sense to support the growth of your students & convey more than the physical side of the practice, deepening your capacity to teach yoga beyond asanas.

>> HANDS-ON ASSISTS: After years of keeping safe distances with each other we may have lost sight and/or practice of how hands-on assists can enhance our students practice. Let's (re)learn the importance of touch & refine your practice of safe, informed & effective assists!

 

Each day will start with a generous solar practice aligned with the theme of the day and will close with a nourishing lunar practice to let the day sink in & embrace slowness.

>> You can join the 3 modules separately or come for the whole weekend!
