March 14 - 17, 2024
A joint can be defined as the place in the body where two bones meet. The root work of Yoga is yuj which means to join or to yoke. Whether it is two bones coming together or each one of us coming together with a means of moksha, or liberation, similar principles apply: stability, freedom, awareness, and self-control. This teacher training intensive is a synthesis of asana techniques, functional movement perspectives, stretch physiology, and yoga philosophy designed for experienced practitioners and teachers of all levels.

Sequencing Strategies
& Integration
Each session will focus on fundamental joint actions and poses from a variety of postural categories with the intention of providing well-rounded sessions throughout the weekend. Expect explanations, demonstrations, philosophical reflections, bad jokes, and opportunities to ask questions and share experiences along the way. Modifications and alternatives will be provided throughout the weekend so that students of all levels will benefit.
Naturally flexible individuals will learn ways to strengthen their bodies. Stable-bodied folks will gain insight into how to create greater ranges of movement intelligently over time. Teachers will gain insight in how to break poses into component parts for a more expanded approach to sequencing. Teachers who work one-on-one with students will learn techniques for helping address common limitations and how to assign homework for special needs. Significant time will be spent applying these concepts to practice and teaching and observing one another's movement.
