Learn to Teach Anjali Restorative Yoga

with Founder, Shannon Paige

and special guests!

 

Begins July 2012

What would happen if–for one moment–you were able to regard your breath, body, and mind as perfect, complete, essential and enough…

You would be a complete possibility of potential and grace.

You would be in the unique position of simultaneous deep surrender and full participation with the universe.

What if–you could teach, share, and offer this to others?

Anjali Restorative Yoga is a highly regarded, deep, and nurturing style of yoga. Through this thoughtful practice of intentional rest, the body is supported by bolsters, pillows, and blankets. The mind and breath are guided through gentle images and practices. The effect is profoundly restful and serene.

The physiological effects of the practice are remarkable: increased lung capacity, improved circulation, spinal flexibility, and significant reduction in various stress related and chronic fatigue symptoms. By providing the body with the freedom to intentionally rest, one is able to tap into one’s own innate healing wisdom. Over time, the practitioner begins to enjoy the cumulative benefits and a marked increase in the ability to access states of calm and gentleness in day-to-day activities.

By exploring these practices from a teacher’s perspective, you hone your teaching service skills verbally, creatively, and inspirationally. The focus of the training is not simply to memorize a set sequence of asanas, but rather to deepen your personal knowledge of the subtle sensations that arise in your own practice and direct the challenges into actions and poetic vocabulary that can inspire ease in another.

Anjali Restorative Yoga Teacher Training

Cultivating the benefits of Anjali Restorative Yoga in oneself is genuine beauty; cultivating the benefits in others is a heartfelt service path. One of the most challenging aspects for all teachers is getting what is inside the heart, out of the mouth and into a classroom full of students.

This challenge can only be met by deep, personally engaged sadhana or practice. From that deepened place and by inviting in the trust of others, we practice, we speak, we share, and we unfold.

Divided into two levels, this sacred progression into guiding nurturing rest will inspire embodied confidence of voice and action:

LEVEL ONE ANJALI TEACHER TRAINING

Our Level One Anjali Teacher’s Training is special. It is transformative and unique, as you will:

• Explore the physics of rest and meditation: the patterning periods of rest can optimize in the brain and its increase in optimal functioning, the patterning visualization can optimize in heart rhythms, and the therapeutic benefits of optimal alignment for the spine, shoulders, and pelvis.

• Surround yourself in the history, philosophy, and mythology from our deep yogic path through the lessons and practices offered by our esteemed faculty in person, via web and writing.

• Dive into the deep currents of your own history and story and determine an intentional vantage point from which to build a teaching practice.

• Develop instruction, observation, and verbalization skills from a deep ocean of thoughtful restorative techniques and methodology.

From that place in the story, from the seat of expanded knowledge, we begin to teach what is in our hearts to the world around us.

Those who have completed this training experience a confidence: verbally guiding a class through a detailed spinal sequence practice; weaving lessons, stories, and guided meditations to support the breath and imagery of a practice; as well as expressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of rest to enhance the swift currents of life on and off the mat.

LEVEL TWO ANJALI RESTORATIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

As Anjali is an incredible practice for a teacher to carve a private teaching practice out of, Level Two of the Anjali Restorative Yoga Teacher Training program focuses on utilizing the skills of Anjali Restorative Yoga for private, one-on-one therapeutic aim.   This 20 hour course will offer opportunity to explore alternative postures and sequences to target spaces and places of tension in private clients.

This Intermediate Level Anjali training is open to those who have successfully completed a Full Anjali Restorative Training.

This program will steep the practitioner in alternative postures and methods of effectively riffing off the Spinal Sequence to create artful evolutions of the practice.

The expanded knowledge will serve to evolve an Anjali teacher’s understanding of the restorative based practice, inspire and uplift:
~ The creation of Anjali Restorative Yoga Workshops
~ One-on-One Anjali Restorative Yoga Sessions
~ Therapeutic Applications of Anjali Restorative Yoga

These sessions will further continue to evolve the conversation of Anjali Restorative Yoga, guided meditations, and weaving a theme throughout a practice.
