Bodhi Yoga™ Teacher Training Session 4

In Session Four you will learn the language of teaching movement, how to understand and teach using the traditional Sanskrit language of yoga, as well as dip deep into pools of yoga chanting.  You’ll experience the power of yoga to bring emotional healing through movement and the ethics of helping students who experience emotional shifts during class.

Explore new horizons in yoga for becoming a more authentic yoga guide and soulful person, one who inspires the journey of real and lasting emotional courage and well-being, in the lucky students who join in on your teaching.

Let’s begin to find your voice in yoga: Please prepare for this session by viewing Session 4 online classes, making notes to bring great questions and discussion to our in-person session. You will get the most out of Session Four by pre-reading pages 5-36 and review pages 43-53 in Session Four of your manual, reviewing the class 4-03 and 4-04 on Sanskrit and Chant. and reviewing your Bodhi Yoga™ Asana Template on page 154-156 in your manual and your Session 4 laminated Asana sheet .  Try keeping a journal this session to log your own emotions that arise as you do your personal practice and teach students.
