Continuing Education for Teachers Immersion with Seane Corn Learn the fundamental principles of vinyasa flow yoga and how to teach it in a responsible, creative, and heart-centered way. This training explores the three realms of consciousness--physical/mental, energetic/emotional, and psychic/symbolic--and how to utilize these principles in your personal practice and the classroom. Applying these tools can help you to teach asana more clearly and intelligently, maintain an organized and well-paced vinyasa sequence, use spiritual themes to facilitate insight, and guide your students to reach into the heart through intention, reflection, and prayer. This training is designed for teachers who are open in the journey of yoga beyond the body.

We'll also cover how to read bodies, theme a class, and speak from your authentic voice. Thursday, April 8 | 8:00am-6:00pm Psychic/Symbolic On the last day, we'll look at both the mystical journey and our roles as guides. We'll also explore renewing the Spirit, developing intuition, and holding a safe and sacred space effectively.
