Do you have your 200 hour training and experience of teaching with something like Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini, Hot Yoga, etc? Are you looking to fill out your offering to include a more diverse audience? Teaching Hatha Yoga Interdisciplinary can range from teaching beginners to advanced practitioners. In teaching a Hatha style class, one can dive deep into more educational details of alignment, breath, bandhas, and the intricacies of articulating more variations within an asana to accommodate many folks at the same time.
Within this 50 hour module we will explore the ‘bell curve’ of intelligent sequencing including how to create and structure a class with a proper warm up and cool down that are relevant to the main practice. We will also break down the details of poses to give insights in how to formulate a safe intelligent class. We will explore a range of modifications, use of props, verbal cueing, and demoing to create different levels of classes; beginners, intermediate, advanced, and multi-leveled. We will also discuss how to take each level in a progression to move to their next level of practice by preparing regularly practicing students.
Please note that you must already be a 200 hour certified Yoga Teacher to attend this immersion and you will be asked for a copy of your certificate upon application. This module can be a stand alone immersion and/ or can also be part of the Frog Lotus Yoga International 1000 Hour Program.
Foundations of Thai Massage Level 1

30 hours
$550
Thai Yoga Massage is a healing art evolving from a combination of various Oriental medical systems while holding its own unique sense of identity with its own modality of Traditional Medicine. It unifies intention, breath, yogic āsana, and massage techniques into a flowing integration of continuous rhythmic motion that provides the receiver with a soothing and revitalizing experience. TYM is based on an understanding of the body’s various layers, focusing on ’sen’ meridian pathways and acupressure points. The practitioner assists to holistically balance the body’s systems, freeing up and removing any blockages that may be present. A proper session of TYM results in restoring a healthy, balanced energetic flow to the recipient. It is a complete therapeutic treatment on its own, and it is easily incorporated into yoga classes or other modalities of physical therapy.
This 25-hour training will cover how to give a full 1.5 – 2 hour massage. Content will include an introduction to TYM history & theory, ’sen’ lines, breath work, meditation, use of proper body mechanics, introductions Thai culture & customs regarding the practice, and self-care through Reusi Dat Ton/Thai Yoga.
