This course is dedicated to cultivating a profound connection with a complete yoga practice. As teachers, our duty is to craft practices that offer depth, balance, and intention. We weave philosophy and anatomy to create comprehensive, meaningful experiences. Prepare to expand your teaching repertoire as we delve into the intricacies of course and workshop setup. We’ll elevate your cueing and enhance your teaching palette with a spectrum of vivid hues.
