Teacher Trainings Are Not Just For Teachers.




Yoga, Pranayama, Anatomy and Physiology and Vision Boards! We created a great space for learning and teaching here these past two days. Two guest teachers came to share their wisdom with us.

Anita Claney shared stories about yoga therapy with veterans suffering from Post Stress Disorder, gave insights into feeling the breath as it moves through us smoothly and taught us helpful techniques for calming and receiving the light into our hearts. She ended with a personal chant which we all agreed felt like a clearing and toning for our souls.

Carol Daniels led us through the bones, the muscles, the joints and the actions of them all as we held poses while feeling the muscles contract and stretch. Being on the mat during the subject of physiology brilliantly brought home the concepts into our bodies.

Teacher trainings are great for those people desiring to share their love of life and yoga, but they are also great for anyone interested in deepening their own practice and experiencing a retreat away from the patterned behaviors and activites of their everyday life. Keep this in mind for yourself in the future. I will leading some weekend retreats this next year! You will be happy when the timing is right.

Vision Boards in the making...
