New Workshop: Healing the Mind
|
Hi Reader, If you’ve been teaching asana classes for a while and feel like your students are asking for something more, something deeper . . . The yoga and meditation market is moving away from high-intensity asana workouts and toward practices that focus more on somatic healing and nervous system regulation. Offering guided meditations is a powerful way to meet that demand. A great guided meditation is more than just relaxation cues and visualization prompts. There’s a science to using your voice, pacing your cues, initiating a visualization, describing sensory details of an inward journey, and giving your guided meditation scripts the kind of philosophical integrity that turns yoga theory into an embodied experience. This 90-minute live online workshop is for yoga teachers who want to:

BONUS: This workshop will be interactive as well as instructive. You’ll be guided into and out of meditative experiences that we’ll then analyze to understand how and why the script and the style of vocalization produced the desired effect. This offering is by donation. Whether you’re already offering guided meditations or just getting started, you’ll come away with a full range of knowledge and tools to lead deeply impactful meditations for your students — and to guide yourself into a deep meditative state as part of your own practice. Healing the Mind: How to Lead Guided Meditations BY DONATION Healing the Mind is registered with Yoga Alliance and offers 1.5 hours of CE credit. The workshop will be recorded — you will receive a replay email with the link to the recording shortly after the end of the live workshop.

Greetings Reader, There are some days when I wake up and think, “I'd love to change the world but I don't know what to do.” My individual choices aren’t enough to make a difference and collective action doesn’t seem to move the needle. The people and power-structures that prevent big systemic changes from being made are too deeply entrenched to displace. What to do? It can be discouraging. Some days I wake up and think, “I don’t wanna change the world. Let this dumb world save itself; I just...
Hi Reader, Do any of these sound like you? → "I want to use Sanskrit in my classes but I'm worried that I won't pronounce it right." → "I'm afraid that I don't know enough about what the words mean to answer questions that my students might have about them." → "I don't know if it's appropriate for me to use Sanskrit in my classes because I'm not Indian and I don't want to offend anyone." → "I'm concerned that using Sanskrit terminology might make yoga sound like a religion or maybe even put...
Greetings Reader, There was barely enough room in the jumbled-up mess of an office to fit the desk, the one adult behind it, and the three pre-teens who were sitting in front of it. The furnace-level setting on the electric radiator’s thermostat approximated the sensation of sitting inside a combustion chamber. The smoke from the Rabbi’s cigar displaced every molecule of oxygen in the room and conspired with the radiator to remove every last drop of moisture from my eyeballs. But enduring the...
