UP-SKILL PROGRAM
LECTURE CONTENT
POSTURE TECHNIQUE - July 20-24
To become a capable teacher, it is essential to understand each posture and the vital importance of careful guidance into correct alignment. Technical information about the postures will be discussed according to the associated spinal movement, including general principles, tractions, twists, backbends, and forward compressions.
Day 1 - General principles
Day 2 - Tractions
Day 3 - Tractions and twists
Day 4 - Backbends
Day 5 - Forward compressions
Each posture will be divided into 3 parts:
A slow and carefully guided movement into each posture, with an emphasis on alignment rather than depth.
A moment of focus, breath, and stillness within each posture
A slow and carefully guided movement out of each posture
By refining their understanding of the postures teachers will improve their own practice, and become more confident in giving basic instructions, as well as individual verbal corrections to students ready to move beyond general instructions.
There will be time for a Q&A at the end of each session.
Up-skilling teachers will have the opportunity to teach and receive feedback.
