Although asana forms the foundation of yoga practice, integrating practical philosophy and chanting in to classes provides an opportunity to take students on a much deeper and more profound journey of discovery in their practice. This course is designed to help you integrate the transformative power of yoga philosophy and chanting into your classes, enriching both your teaching and your students’ experience. Through the sacred sounds of chanting and the timeless insights of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, you’ll learn practical ways to theme and weave ancient wisdom in to your classes as well as to have the confidence to offer chanting as part of your offering.
This course will offer:
- Insights into selected teachings of the Yoga Sutras that can be brought on to the mat
- How to theme and structure classes around philosophical concepts
- Developing a philosophical theme over a series of classes
- The fundamentals of sharing chanting practices in class
- How to integrate chanting in to your classes in asana, breath work and meditation
- How to deepen chanting practice using volume, interoception and nyasa/mudra
At the end of the course you will have be introduced to:
- Key yoga philosophy concepts
- How to bring them in to your classes
- The fundamentals of sharing chanting
- 2-3 mantras that can be used in a class context
You will also receive all materials presented on this day training as well as some template practices for you to share in your own classes.
This training is for:
- Teachers looking to deepen their understanding of how to offer philosophy and chanting in class
