October Teacher Training Courses
Yoga Psychology: Harmony of Body and Soul with Sophia Reinders, Ph.D, MFT
Saturday, Sep 30 & Sunday, Oct. 1: 12:30-6pm both days
By bringing attention to the kinesthetic experience, yoga allows the emotions and feelings that
have taken a silent shape in our muscles, in our posture and movements, to come to awareness and
be experienced and expressed consciously. When we perform Yoga asanas and breathwork as a
practice of embodied awareness, we align our physical body with our emotional body and our
spiritual body.

Saturday, Oct 7, 2006: 1pm-6pm ($150)
In The Art of Sequencing, Tony will explore with students how to develop themes and build physical concepts for a series of poses and will illustrate the difference between structuring a personal practice and structuring a public class.
The Art of Touch- Principles of Demonstration with Anne Saliou
Saturday, Oct 14, 2006: 1pm-6pm ($150)
