Inspired Offerings: Weaving Inspirational Themes into Yoga Classes
with Sara Davidson Flanders
A Weekend Immersion for Yoga Teachers and Interested Students
April 10-11, 2021

This weekend immersion is part of the Yoga of Energy Flow 200-Hour Teacher Training and will be presented virtually. It is a chance for yoga teachers and interested students to learn practical tools to bring effective and transformative heart-based themes into yoga classes and workshop

The moment we had our first heart-opening experience in yoga is often the moment we stepped into a deeper understanding of what yoga truly is- a method of remembering our unity with all things. Have you wanted to help your students have this experience, this sense of connection to themselves and to the world around them? This workshop for both aspiring and seasoned teachers will help you learn practical tools to bring effective and transformative heart-based themes into your classes and workshops.Beginners and advanced students alike will receive helpful tips for an effective home practice. Handouts and other resources will be provided, grounding the experience in practical application.

In this workshop:
• Learn strategies and templates that will help integrate your class inspiration with the physical asana flow, so that your message inspires throughout the class rather than just the beginning and the end.
• Refine your presentation so that students embody and live the heart-themes rather than simply hear the
• Receive custom worksheets and engage in a process of learning that brings all your skills into play: asana knowledge, alignment, actions, anatomy, philosophy, sequencing, and more.
• Be led by Sara in a number of mini-practices in which you will experience the power of her ability to skillfully weaving a heart-theme with a skillful sequence and empowering actions to create an awakening of spirit and heart. 
• Practice this work in small groups and leave this immersion ready to begin adding effective themes to classes
