Yogaville Online Training: Bhakti For Asana Teachers: Bringing More Heart & Creativity To Your Classes

Bhakti Yoga invites us into the universal, human experience of connecting to the mystery of life through the depths of the heart. In this program, learn helpful tips and tools for cultivating more depth, imagination, and inspiration in your asana teaching through the arts and practices of Bhakti Yoga – song, music, mantra, language, poetry, creative movement, and ritual. Seán will share insights cultivated over 20 years of merging Hatha and Bhakti yoga in his teaching and practice, and guide you into an experiential exploration of what it feels like to teach even more deeply from the authenticity of your own heart. 

 

In this weekend continuing education program: 

 

• Open to more possibilities as a yoga teacher of sincerely sharing what moves your heart with your students

• Explore creative ways to integrate a theme into a class so that the theme is consciously woven into the body and breath, rather than disconnected

• Discover new ways to experience asanas you’ve practiced and taught many times before by transforming them into meaning-making rituals

• Delve into ways to bring more energy, emotion, dynamics, and musicality to your classes

• Learn some simple language and techniques for making bhakti practices like chanting more accessible for a general group of students

• Search for the deep universal human connections seeded within the depths of Yoga’s spirituality, mythology, and mantras to share with your students

 

The training will include the pre-requisite of a pre-recorded class with Seán to do on your own schedule before the weekend that we will reference as a guiding resource during the weekend. A link to this class will be emailed to you a week before the program. 

 

Completion of the live portion of this training will make you eligible for 10 hours of continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance.
