level 1: from the ground up
teacher training intensive
june 3-6, (thurs-sun) 9.30am-5pm
This course in Prajna Yoga (the Yoga of Insight) is an in-depth study of the root teachings of the yoga practice. We investigate the foundational teachings of the Buddha on impermanence and compassion (metta) along with the principle yoga teachings on death and samadhi from the Upanisad and Yoga Sutras. Anatomically we begin with the root of the body, the feet and begin with the premise “the feet are the foundation to the temple of the body”.

We identify the feet as the first chakra, and detail the myofascial connection between the feet, ankles, knees, hip rotatores, pelvic floor and lumbar spine. The emphasis for the week is standing poses and how to align and articulate the legs. We study the the interior and exterior leg and note develop the crucial link between the inner leg and the ilio-psoas along the front spine. We use a full size skeleton, anatomical drawings and images from Eastern art to enrich the study.

This intensive is part of a Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training program. 'From the Ground Up: Level 1, is the first in a series of 3 offered by Tias worldwide. You do not need to take the 3 levels in sequential order.Open for all levels!

extra! extra! tias will offer two 2.5 hr special sessions open to all!
weds, june 2nd. 10am-12.30 & 7pm-9.30pm
session 1: my body is my temple: the sacred psoas
The ilio-psoas is the revered muscle located deep in the
abdomen, along the front of the spine that gives support to
all movement. It is all too common that core building routines
cause excessive shortness and tightening in the psoas.This class
cultivates core strength in the low back and ilio-psoas without
creating contraction.The emphasis will be on establishing length
and strength in the psoas while developing support close to
the spine.

session 2: how to grow a lotus
This class aims to unlock holding patterns in the hips that restrict movement into the lotus. We practice prepatory hip releases in order to become more fluid in the pelvis, and learn to safely sit in the lotus & teach it to slowly blossom and smile.
