WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS A YOGA PRACTICE CAN WORK FOR ANY BODY & CAN LAST A LIFETIME

IS THIS TRAINING FOR YOU?


This training is for yoga practitioners and teachers who are interested in  transforming their practice and teaching techniques so they truly fit and work for you and your students. 

The course will allow you to slowly and methodically rework your teaching, regardless of style, so that your classes meet the promise that yoga classes are for anyone who wants to participate and are sustainable for a lifetime. By learning the D2R processes you will gain tools that will allow you to become highly adaptive and dexterous as a teacher so that you have the ability to develop and implement appropriate teaching techniques for any group or individual in your classes as well as for yourself as a practitioner. 
If you have ever felt you lack the resources and knowledge to be able to meet the needs of individual students within your classes, have struggled to integrate new materials, are lacking in anatomical knowledge, are concerned about or have sustained an injury, or are interested in accessibility or inclusivity then this course is absolutely for you.

ABOUT ALEXANDRIA CROW


Alexandria is an internationally respected teachers’ teacher who leads teacher trainings and workshops around the world. Through her Yoga Physics methodology she aims to clearly explain the whats, whys, and hows of asana, meditation and yogic philosophy, making the practice approachable for everyone, of every level and of every walk of life. She shares this knowledge with her students and other teachers so they can practice and teach wisely, sustainably and mindfully.

Years of research, scientific inquiry, self inquiry/scrutiny, development and integration have gone into Alex’s work. The result is an evolved set of techniques and approaches that eliminate the problematic components of physical asana practices and group classes while providing an in-depth understanding of how individual teachers situate themselves within these dynamics. In order to move forwards from the current Western paradigm, Alex’s courses add techniques that retain the qualities students love about yoga classes but allow students to engage in personal inquiry with agency at a much greater depth. The class formats and teaching tools that Alex offers are sustainable and accessible for anyone that wants to take class regardless of circumstance and that teach yoga’s philosophy in real time in an experiential way.
