Teacher Development Workshops 2009
Pixie Lillas will be conducting a series of weekend workshops for certified teachers who wish to further explore their teaching skills and who may also be planning to upgrade to Junior Intermediate I, II or III.
The purpose of the workshops is to familiarise the teachers with the syllabus for Junior Intermediate level I, II and III, both from a teaching and a practice oriented view. We will also look at different aspects of teaching in general, such as observation, hands on adjusting and communication.
Teachers can expect to practise most of the postures of the Junior Intermediate I and II syllabus, to review postures from the Introductory syllabus and also to teach some of those poses to each other.
All sessions will be held at the Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio, Balmain.
2009 Dates
February 21st and 22nd
May 30th and 31st (N.B. This date is likely to change due to assessments)
