Living Joyfully: Thoughts on Teaching
|
|
Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow begins another semester at SLCC and I'm looking forward to meeting the students in "Intro to Yoga Teacher Training." As part of the preparation, I've been reflecting on the qualities that make a good Yoga teacher, and considering my own role in offering a contribution to the students' growth. The primary quality that comes first to mind in that process is humility. I'm very aware that there are others far more  knowledgeable and wise than myself in the path of Yoga. I'm definitely still learning every day! One of my teachers, Nischala Devi, always told us, "never say you're a Yoga teacher: let other people call you a Yoga teacher." In other words, the first thing to know about being a Yoga teacher is, 'it's not about you.' I believe that an awareness of, and openness to, the gift of light that each student brings to the practice is essential. The teacher's role is to recognize that light, and open a space for the practice of Yoga to take place. Other qualities that come to mind are integrity, compassion, simplicity, groundedness, self-awareness, and empathy. Being a student first and always, recognizing and honoring the teacher in everyone. With that in mind, I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic. If you'd like to share a quality or anecdote about what makes a good (or great) Yoga teacher, just reply to this email. Thanks everyone!
Om Shanti,
Erin |

Kirtan |
| Kirtan is a Sanskrit word meaning "repeat," and referring to joyous call-and-response singing with instrumental accompaniment. On January 23, 7 pm, Leraine Horstmanshoff is bringing Kirtan to Avenues Yoga for a night of musical delight. To listen, click here.
 "When we repeat mantras and prayers [through song] we call the things we most
want to us. By combining the vibrations of music, love, appreciation
and connection, the energy rises and settles sweetly into the core of
our beings. Leraine has quickly become a master of this chanting style
and leads each group fluently along the sound currents which connect us
to the divine spirit that lives and flows in all things." To read more about Leraine and Kirtan, visit her website by clicking here.

The Elements of Practice
|
|
Peter is Back! Renowned Yoga teacher Peter Francyk returns to Salt Lake for this essential 2-day workshop. Whether you are a newcomer to Yoga who senses that there is more to the practice, or a long-time practitioner looking to deepen your connection in 2010, this workshop is for you.
According to Ayurveda, everything in the universe is made up of a combination of the five elements: Earth (Prithvi), Water (Apa), Fire (Tejas), Air (Vayu) and Space (A kasha). The human being also has 'soul' or 'spirit.' Understanding the ways in which these elements flow through and around us can deeply enhance both our personal Yoga practice and our class experience.
"The Elements of Practice" takes the Ayurvedic elements as the starting point for an exploration of the practice of Yoga on a deeply integrated level. Saturday Feburary 6 & Sunday February 7, 1-5 pm $100 for both days in advance,
or $60 per session day-of
Look for more details soon.
