Continuing Education || The Art of Theme Development || The Narrative Theme || Bring Yoga to Life through Story, Myth, & Physical Narrative

Schedule: Dec 6th, Friday — 2-4pm, 5-9pm Dec 7th, Saturday — 1-4:45pm Dec 8th, Sunday — 9-11:15am, 12-4pm Just like the sequence has an intelligent flow, as can the theme. First we begin to create a physical narrative with the Abhaya Method as the backdrop. Where is the class going? Where do we want it to culminate both physically, and subtly as it pertains to the bigger “goals” of yoga? Once we are clear on the physical coding and sequencing, we can begin to dive into the “narrative”. Using scripture, mythology, poetry and teachings that inspire, we can create our own fabric. Bring with you some of your favorite myths. We will read, explore, research together and then work to break down the code of the theme within the body. From there, we can create our class. *Recommended to take the Tantric Principles in a Modern World Module.
