YOGA TEACHER'S WORKSHOP
2 hour workshops for yoga teachers with any level of teaching experience. We use the morning classes as examples, aiming to develop your sequencing as well as your theming skills. You will learn how to sequence creative, unique vinyasa flow classes around what we call a peak pose. These skills combined will help you evolve and stand out as a yoga teacher. Using the platform and the tools of the True North Vinyasa class planning methodology, you will learn 3 different ways to sequence and theme vinyasa, such as mandala and ladder/progressive flow.
ASANA WORKSHOP
2 hour workshops for anyone wishing to explore their asana practice on a technical level and take on more challenging poses. We will use the walls, different props and work in pairs. You will learn drills, tricks, efficient prep work, hands-on assists and other ways to approach arm balances, inversions and backbends.
PRIVATE COACHING
If you wish to maximise your retreat time, you have an opportunity to book one-on-one coaching sessions with Lisa Andersson Rhodiner and/or Elin Jensen. We offer experience and expertise from years of teaching vinyasa flow, working with marketing and branding, running retreats, workshops as well as educating and mentoring yoga teachers.
