15H INTENSIVE MODULE SIMON PARK

Vinyasa Flow Yoga has a wonderful potential to be complete practice: therapeutic and energising for the body, mind and spirit and a wonderful platform for creative expression. In this 5 day advanced intensive, Simon will guide the exploration of important and subtle aspects of teaching inspiring Vinyasa Yoga. 
Develop a thorough understanding of the dynamic actions required to make each pose vibrant and alive. Through intensive practice, visual assessment, and hand on assists, we will explore the principles that build the bridge from a foundational to advanced practice. We begin each day with a complete vinyasa flow practice infused with physical and energetic alignment cues leading to peak postures. In additional sessions, we will break down key poses by intelligently reading the body, and learning hands-on assist that will refine our understanding of asanas and fluid movement. 

Gain a better understanding of the physical and energetic principles from the Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Vinyasa systems. We will examine how the universal principles and the unique wisdom of each style, can greatly enhance our overall understanding of balance and energy flow. Thus, we enter into a more knowledgeable place to teach and assist students in a wholistic way. Ultimately, we must make the teachings alive, as we adapt our teaching towards the unique needs of each student. Learn to develop yoga classes and privates for all levels, integrating a deeper understanding of alignment to help your students safely grow in their practice. The immersion is designed for teachers from all traditions of yoga and experienced practitioners. 

Finally, we will explore linking the physical practice with the spiritual path through the introduction of yogic themes and dharma talks in a creative and authentic way. Creating space for spiritual exploration is perhaps the most difficult bridge to pass in your teaching career. Yet, it may be the most most important; allowing students to pass from a purely physical space toward self inquiry and growth. 

Become dedicated to moving away from scripted teaching toward creative artistry… the process of becoming absolutely present with your students. Simon brings 25 years of of study, practice, and assisting with Maty Ezraty, Shiva Rea, Richard Freeman, and Dharma Mittra.
