PRACTICUM:

In Art of Teaching, trainees will be gradually introduced to teaching by moving through what we call “Asana Analysis” where we breakdown the poses and also string them together in a group of poses called mini sequences. Students will practice teaching these mini sequences. The first part will be learning to teach the Kula Basic Flow while the second part will be focused on building and creating Holistic Yoga Sequences.
