Wisdom Circle
May
4

Wisdom Circle

This is an Intermediate Level Circle: We recommend having participated in at least 2 - 5 (non-beginner) circles before attending. In this 3 hour session, we will start with a circle exactly as we do in the Monthly Circling Lab. This will get us “warmed up” and put us in a place of the meditative space of connection before we move into the second half to use circling tools to explore the enactment of wisdom.

We use the tools of circling to have conversations about things that matter with a life well lived. More than a philosophical conversation, we will be exploring aliveness as it moves through our discourse.

YACEP : Teaching Chair Yoga
May

YACEP : Teaching Chair Yoga

Teaching Chair Yoga with Introduction to Teaching Simple Meditation

Chair Yoga is a great way to introduce people to Yoga and meditation, particularly in a secular setting such as a school, library, or corporate health program, or in locations where setting out Yoga mats is impractical. Also, these simple practices make you feel so good, it is also a great way to bring more experienced students back to the basics.

Another important aspect is Chair Yoga's ACCESSIBILITY. It's important for Yoga teachers to be able to teach simple but powerful Yoga classes to beginners, older students, and others who have difficulty with some of the modern class formats. This Yoga teacher clinic will focus on some simple but effective warm-ups, stretches, and other practices that can be done in a chair and standing. In addition to the "exercises for joints and glands" we will include some simple pranayama, meditation, and other relaxation techniques. Participants will have the opportunity to share favorites of their own.

Schedule
9 am  :  Welcome, introduction, discussion on teaching Chair Yoga,
with meditation, pranayama, and pratyahara.
9:30a :  Chair Yoga class and practice
11am  :  Q&A and additional discussion, and sharing or additional Chair Yoga practices
11:30a : Adjourn

 

►  For those wishing YACEP* credit, a digital certificate will be supplied for an extra $15
►  A hard-copy certificate suitable for framing is also available for an additional $25 (includes digital cert.)
►  No one will be turned away because of inability to pay. We have plenty of Karma Yoga exchange scholarships available! Please reach out to us if you need one.
