Flowin' with Cohen!


This weekend in ATT (advanced teacher training) we had a guest teacher. The beautiful Lisa Cohen came to Inner Vision Yoga to guest teach a master workshop called "Being in the Flow".

Lisa taught us about creative sequencing, fun music, incorporating a theme or metaphor into your teaching and above all~ don't forget to be JOYOUS and have a sense of humor!
* Here are a few more teaching tips from Lisa:
~ Teach what you know!
~Create a Theme or idea for each class have a message you want to convey, something they can take with them into the world.
~Find your voice (not someone else's). It is okay to borrow someone else's words, but messages that ring true to you will stick with you and seem more genuine.
~Be joyous! Rejoice! Ujayyi-victorious, try not to take it all too seriously.
~Being scared is a waste of time! Feel the fear and do it anyway (on or off the mat).
Namaste~Andrea

Movie recommendation...


Last weekend in my master teacher training program at Inner Vision Yoga studio in Chandler, we talked about quantum physics in relation to yoga practice, specifically Patanjalis last three limbs; Dhrana, Dhyana and samadhi.
I highly recommend this movie, "What the Bleep (do you know)!?" This movie will make you think, question your own existence and hopefully open your eyes and mind to a whole new way of thinking about your relation to the universe we live in.
