SUMMARY:Joyful Practice\, Joyful Life with the OHASHIMethod. A Bodywork Technique
DESCRIPTION:The OHASHI Method\, developed by world-renowned teacher Ohashi\, emphasizes the preservation of the giver’s body. Taught to thousands of students and bodywork therapists around the world\, Ohashi’s unique technique will benefit any practitioner\, professional or beginner\, by showing how to give the best quality of touch. \nYou will learn the meridians and acupoints and how to apply this knowledge to give a basic treatment. But more importantly\, you will learn how to move your body in order to achieve longevity in your practice and maximize the effectiveness of your touch. \nSince arriving in the United State in 1970\, for 50 years Ohashi has been teaching his proven idea of\, not “bodywork” but “my-body-works”\, to thousands of students\, teachers and practitioners. The OHASHI Method has stood the test of time as many have adapted his techniques into their practice. Now is your chance to learn directly from Ohashi. \nAlways taught with joy and humor\, Ohashi’s teachings will enhance and change your life — your personal well-being or professional career. Space is limited. \nSpace is limited. \nAlso with Ohashi…\nTutorials and Sessions: While at Integral Yoga Institute Ohashi will give sessions and tutorials on a limited basis.\nTo book a session or a tutorial\, please visit: OHASHI-Method.biz \nFollow the OHASHI Method at Linktr.ee/OHASHIMETHOD \nThis is an in-person program.

SUMMARY:The Art of Offering Hands-On Assists: Continuing Education Workshop for IYI Teachers
DESCRIPTION:**This workshop is for certified IYI Teachers only** \nIntegral Yoga encourages practitioners to guide their awareness within\, yet reaching that level of depth in hatha practice requires establishing a balance of sthira and sukha that sometimes remains elusive in challenging poses. There may be times when verbal cues and visual demonstration fall short of conveying the information we are asking our students to assimilate into their practice. Here is where gentle and well-informed hands-on assistance can support our students in refining their alignment\, leading to an experience of steadiness and ease that will transform their practice. \nThe art and skill of providing physical touch adjustments and hands-on assistance are tools that belong in every well-trained yoga teacher’s repertoire. Over the past few years\, with the shift towards online classes and trainings\, this invaluable knowledge may seem to have fallen by the wayside. If you are teaching without the resources to physically assist your students\, you probably have a sense that a vital element is missing. This workshop will help fill in that gap\, giving you the understanding and technical skills to safely and effectively incorporate hands-on support in your classes. \nAssists empower your students by guiding them to discover new possibilities\, encouraging them to move beyond self-imposed limitations\, and ultimately learning the skills needed to continue evolving on their own. Applied correctly\, physical touch adds another dimension to the class\, creating a nurturing environment that builds trust and connection between teacher and student. As teachers\, it is essential that we understand the power inherent in offering physical adjustments\, and develop the confidence and knowledge to appropriately integrate this skill into our teaching toolkit. \nThis is an in-person program. Registration is free for Active IYI Teachers\, $54 for Inactive Teachers.

We invite you to join us for a free Information Session and find out if Integral Yoga Teacher Training is right for you. \nIntegral Yoga Institute is one of the most respected schools of Yoga training in the world—we’ve been certifying teachers for over 40 years. Countless lives have been transformed through our time-tested and proven method of teacher training. Rooted in the tradition of classical Yoga\, we apply a modern approach for contemporary times. \nDuring the Info Session\, you’ll discover what makes Integral Yoga Teacher Training so special\, including our highly personalized approach to teaching that ensures you receive individual attention throughout your training.

We’d also love to meet you and welcome you to bring any questions you may have about the program to this informal open session. \n \nWhat our graduates are saying…\n“I had a wonderful experience in teacher training. Jayadevi and Sri did a remarkable job of instructing a comprehensive and rigorous course while also creating a collaborative and supportive environment. I am so grateful to have been able to take this course with these instructors\, it was a life-changing and beautiful experience I will never forget!”  – Maeve \n“Jayadevi and Sri were absolutely excellent instructors. They provided the necessary tools and knowledge to deepen our personal practice and harness an ability to share our practice with others. The feedback I received was always authentic and helped refine my understanding…I will be forever grateful for their encouragement and dedication to me and my classmates.”  – Alonzo \n“This course was very helpful for me\, not only in my journey as a teacher but in my personal life – I felt as if the instructors were really paying attention to me and like my success was important. I feel blessed to have been able to go through this experience and I am very grateful.”  – Dawn \n“Every detail was superbly planned and woven together to create a comprehensive course. It pushed me to think more critically about what it means to be a teacher and highlighted what I want to embody and bring to my classes. My understanding of the asana is much more nuanced and I hold so many fun facts in my back pocket now!”  – Emmie \n“There is so much gratitude I have for the teaching and wisdom that I’ve received over the past several months\, that I can’t fit it all in! I always felt very included and seen\, accommodated and yet not babied as a student; held and yet challenged. Thank you and I hope to learn more from you some day!” – Jules
