Integrating Yoga Philosophy into Classes and Workshops

This workshop is specifically for Yoga Teachers: you’ll learn a simple, systematic approach to sharing your personal understanding and experience of yoga philosophy with your students. Through group discussion and experiential exercises, you’ll learn how to choose a philosophical theme, how to structure an effective ‘dharma talk’, how to speak effectively in your own voice, and how to design an asana sequence around your theme.

This workshop also includes simple techniques for accompanying yourself on the harmonium while leading Sanskrit chants that directly connect your students to your theme. You don’t need any musical knowledge, just a sense of rhythm and a desire to chant.

You’ll come away from this workshop knowing how to connect your students to the transcendental wisdom of yoga and feeling empowered to lead call-and-response chants with confidence.

This workshop qualifies for CE credits with Yoga Alliance.
