Teaching Chair Yoga
Using props in a yoga class can be beneficial for all students. Chairs are particularly useful for those with injuries and for the more mature student with limited range of movement. However, chairs can be extremely useful for able bodied students also and can help anyone to deepen their experience of asana.
This workshop would be useful for yoga teachers, students, health care professionals and carers who want to share the power of movement and breathing with students and clients.
Emotional Evolution
The path from being an emotional wreck to being an emotional master is one worth walking. Emotional mastery shifts us from a seemingly ceaseless roller coaster of up and downs to a blissful boat ride down the river of life. The emotionally skilled person is able to monitor, control and leverage their emotions for optimum clarity of mind and ease of heart.

Besides the techniques and practices shared during a yoga class, the science of yoga has an ancient history and a rich philosophy which can aid any person in their quest for a happy, peaceful, successful and purposeful life.

Self-esteem is the outcome of doing and being ourself, hearing and following our instincts and intuition. The Self-esteemer is easeful in all situations and with all beings. They are quietly confident, self-assured, and not governed by family, culture or the past. They are also undeterred by error and are swift to admit and overcome incorrect behaviour and attitude. The self-esteemer is a true delight to be around, full of ease and grace, peace and power, present moment awareness and deep compassion.
In this workshop we will decipher some of the unreal from the real and give methods to establish new behaviours cultivating self-esteem and self-love.

Restorative yoga is a slow and mindful practice, which usually involves the use of props such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps and walls, to aid the student in holding a pose for an extended period of time. Using props allows the student to feel “supported” and “safe”, and therefore, the unconscious and habitual muscle tension has a chance to be dissolved and released. This practice leads the yogi towards a more healing and recuperative experience, achieving a deep level of relaxation in body, breath and mind.
