The additional 150 contact hours are completed through Sanctuary for Yoga’s Advanced Elective Studies. Based on your teaching style, areas of interest, specialties, and/or past experiences, you select which electives will best inspire and evolve your teaching.
The Core Modules & Electives may be completed in any order. The 5 Core Modules are generally scheduled each year. Some Elective Modules are annual events while some may be scheduled more/less frequently.
Five Core Modules
(all required)
Advanced Sequencing: The Sacred Architecture of a Class (module 1)
The focus of this module (30 hours) will be on the evolution of a class from the carefully placed intention and the first unified breath to the stillness of savasana. We will explore the relationships between asanas and the deliberate unfolding of a sequence to a peak. During the module, we’ll use a full spectrum of asanas to create simple to complex sequences and learn techniques for skillfully guiding students through movement in all directions. Learn to add depth and dimension to your classes to take students deeper into poses and more complex asanas with ease.
