The Abhaya Method- Refining Practice - The Power of Clear Speech- Verbal Cuing & Empowering your Students

The Abhaya Method, created by owner, Tara Glazier, offers freedom and ease on all levels.

This integrative method offers an approach that considers skeletal alignment, pranic (breath/ energy) expansion, and open awareness. The goal of the method is to bring each individual into neutral skeletal alignment allowing for a free and regulated breath with the potential to touch upon something deeper within. The Abhaya Method uses the traditional model of the Koshas (5 sheaths) as a framework. The 5 sheaths or layers of physical and subtle body are explored through the Abhaya 4 Pillars. The 4 Pillars include foundational, inner core, support, and anchoring principles that can be applied to asana as well as breathwork and meditation.

As teachers, we need clear roadmaps on how to see and how to instruct. Each student is unique yet there are Universal principles that we can teach them to feel in their own bodies. Empower your students with clear cues and inquiry based cues that help them to find and feel aligned in their own bodies. Through the 4 pillars, The Abhaya Method leads the student to strength and ease.

Verbal instruction is one of our most powerful tools as yoga teachers. Most of what the students do is through auditory learning. How, what, and with what quality can deeply impact how they perform their posture. Templates for teaching and verbal cueing based on the method will be offered.
