Teaching yoga is a different endeavor than doing yoga. A Yogi with a nice practice isn't necessarily the best teacher of it. A great skier or dancer doesn't guarantee they can teach what it is they can do so well. An inspired musician is often a lousy teacher. Teaching is an art all its own. Doing yoga well demands that one study it over time with a regularity of practice, refining one’s skills. However, teaching it to others demands the ability to be able to articulate theory and to have the capacity to break down the practice verbally so that our students have an embodied, spirited experience. A teacher has to "hold" the room, with a certain psychic connection to each student in their realm; an intuitive alertness which keeps students curious and attentive and which makes everyone feel safe. For the duration of one's class, a teacher is mentor, model, mother, mid-wife, muse, modulator and manipulator, planting seeds for insight and change beyond the mat.
Through a series of workshop and discussion sessions we will explore the tenants of the Katonah Yoga practice, through the lens of a teacher. We will cover all aspects of the practice including magic square, body reading, adjustment theory, restorative practice, teaching therapeutic privates, addressing injuries, pranayama and articulating theory. Meeting once a week, over a 3 month period, each workshop session will be followed up with a discussion session, where material can be explored, assignments can be reviewed and practice teaching can be critiqued.
The program is limited to 12 students and will include:
(1) 3 hour introduction session
(6) 3 hour workshop sessions
(6) 3 hour discussion sessions
(3) 30 minute one on one sessions
unlimited live classes during the duration of the program
