About The Training:
Yintelligence is excited to be offering module 3, high up in the mountains of Portugal in a beautiful residential retreat setting. This opportunity has been designed to take us away from our daily responsibilities, so we can immerse ourselves fully in practice, study and self-care.
This unique Yoga Alliance accredited training is designed for practitioners and teachers interested in understanding how to apply the revolutionary functional yoga principles - born and developed from Paul Grilley’s 14-10-7 method - to their Hatha/ Vinyasa practice (or any other yang yoga style).
This specialised programme is designed to deepen your knowledge and ability to analyse human variation. Graduates will leave with the necessary skills to practice and teach individualised asana, helping to make yoga more relevant, inclusive and accessible to all people, across all styles of yoga.
In a series of focused posture clinics, we will look in detail at 30+ traditional Hatha poses, including key standing poses, backbends, arm balances and inversions - exploring how skeletal variations in the shoulder, spine, pelvis and tibia will affect the appropriate ‘alignment’ for each student. We will carefully deconstruct and reconstruct the standard alignment cues to analyse their effectiveness across a broad range of student bodies, before learning how to communicate functional cues that will ensure students are guided safely and effectively into each posture.
Our goal is to learn how to skilfully teach traditional Hatha/ Vinyasa based on function over aesthetics, helping students to cultivate body intelligence and empower them to discern for themselves the appropriate way to practice yoga asana - for their unique body - that will lead to an effective, safe, sustainable and long-term yoga practice.
The training will include:
Functional Yoga Theory & Practice
Yang Posture Clinics - Detailed Analysis of 30+ Key Traditional Hatha Poses (Standing Poses, Backbends, Arm Balances and Inversions)
How to Teach Functional Hatha/ Vinyasa
Yin-Yang Creative Sequencing
Applied Yoga Anatomy (Shoulder and Upper Extremities)
