Sonia Sumar and Renata Sumar Gaertner, teach this 2 week in person intensive, or 4 weeks online (3x weekdays plus weekends), to help teacher to develop more skills to work with adults with and without additional needs. We will also work on developing personal practice, study scriptures like the Living Gita, Upanishads, Hatha Yoga Pradipika (scriptures will vary according with the group we work with). We will also learn more advanced pranayama techniques and will do practices to deepen your meditation sadhana. We will have anatomy and physiology classes with focus on asanas and pranayamas and how people can benefit from these practices. If time allows, we will also converse on polyvagal theory and how yoga can help to stimulate the ventral vagal. We will also discuss asanas, fascia, tensegrity, biomechanics of asanas, types of contraction and how to use those in order to guide your students and yourself on asana sadhana.
