Hands on Anatomy (via an Intro to) Elemental Thai Yoga Massage / Meridians, Elements & Organs
We begin with an Anatomy program created by Paul Grilley. With real, living, feeling, flesh and bone examples, Paul makes it clear that there is no style of asana-yoga that is perfect for everyone; and when we expect students to fit certain pre-set molds or expectations - as if it is "the way" - is asking for trouble. With Paul we learn to approach each person's uniqueness authentically. This is absolutely essential knowledge for teaching a safe asana practice.
TYM Practitioner Training Option
This Intro to TYM will be the 1st of 3 TYM practitioner training weekends.
The cost of this practitioner training for those in yoga teacher training is only $500.

We plan to hold this training weekend at an Oregonia area camp, as well as open some of our program up to our other studio yogis; as well as any family members or friends you might like to attend. There will be an option to stay overnight on Friday and Saturday at no extra cost to you, and just a minimal fee for any friends or family you may want to invite.
Please Note: Due to some earlier schedule revisions, we had to add this weekend to the training though it previously was free. However, by adding the extra day (just a Friday evening, actually) we are able to reduce the number of modules from 15 to 14. Nevertheless, if you cannot make Friday, or if you already had some labor day plans, we can come up with some homework to replace this module for you. Furthermore, if the majority of our class has difficulty making this module, we can tack it on to the end of the training on a different date.
