Teacher Development Workshops
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.
Dates
August 21 -22

Backbend Intensive in Balmain - Clarity, Strength and Stillness
Guruji has said that backbends, whilst outwardly the most showy of all postures, are actually the most introverted of all Asanas. In fact, you need to go deep inside yourself to explore the more demanding backbends.
Pixie has planned this intensive for a long time. It will be based on many years spent practising these uplifting, challenging and extraordinary postures. The aim of this intensive is to deepen the practitioner's understanding of backbends in Iyengar Yoga and to explore how they link and inform other postures and sequences.
Please note: This course will be open to teachers, trainees and experienced students. Students must have a strong and established personal practice of backbends.
Dates
The intensive will run for 7 days from Monday, January 3 to Monday, January 10.
Fees & Deposit
Total cost is $480.
Deposit of $100 must be made by October 8.
