Supervised practice teaching of clients:

Under the supervision of Jean and Lance, you will teach two clients (twice each) allowing you to integrate and practice your skills. You will also be given guidance on things you can do to ensure you present as a highly professional teacher.

Your personal Yoga practice:

Each day will start with a one hour Pranayama practice followed by a two hour asana practice.

The Pranayama sessions will guide you to a deeper understanding of correct breathing procedure, promoting Biomechanical / Biochemistry and balancing the autonomic nervous system. Our methodology also follows strict guidelines of the Hatha tradition. This broad platform of knowledge and experience will facilitate your therapy programming through a 1 to 1 approach. This unique approach of conscious breathing can be adapted to any individual requirements as researched by our trained students.

The Asana practices will be a combination of led and supervised self-practice. Supervised self-practice means you will be given sequences to practise independently. While you are practising, Lance and Jean will observe, correct and give guidance to help you understand your own body better, progress in postures you find challenging, as well as integrate the knowledge you have learned from the lectures. Over the 2 weeks the sequences will be adapted to suit your individual capabilities and goals. This is a great opportunity to get input into your practice from two very experienced teachers.
