Join Simon Park for a 2-day TT intensive

Vinyasa Flow Yoga has a wonderful potential to be complete practice. Energizing and therapeutic for the body/mind and a wonderful platform for creative expression. 

​

In this 2-day intensive, Simon will guide you through dynamic yet mindful Vinyasa Flow Yoga practices. Each day begins with a progressive practice full of creative namaskars, fluid transitions, inversions, arm balances, and backbends, leading to peak postures of interesting complexity. 

​

In additional sessions, you will be guided in the art of “seeing” as a teacher; how to read bodies and what instruction and hands on assists we can offer to make the practice of our students more grounded and effortless. You will develop a thorough understanding of the dynamic actions required to make each pose vibrantly 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. How do we engage students and inspire them? We learn to teach from the place of knowledge, creativity and experience.  

​

Finally, we will explore linking the physical practice with the spiritual / inner journey of our students in a way that is accessible to a modern audience. Creating space for self exploration is perhaps one of the difficult and suble aspects of teaching yoga. 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.
