Curriculum: 6 Modules

NYTT 301 | Meditation: Mindfulness, somatics, and the psychology of yoga

Instructor: Pascale Wettstein

This course will explore meditation as a practice of awareness and awakening: in-class as we practice or teach, and outside the classroom in our daily lives. We will also examine the interrelationship of meditation, breath and asana to better understand how body, emotions, and sensations can bring us deeper into any practice form. Various forms and practices will be explored, helping each student find an approach that works best for them.

Show schedule for this module

Date: Jan 20 and 27 (1-6 pm) and Jan 21 and 28 (2-7 pm)

NYTT 302 | Restorative: The art of stillness and deep relaxation

Instructor: Elizabeth Emberly

This course will examine the basic principles of a restorative yoga practice and how to use a variety of props to support the body in various passively held asanas. Learn how the practice can calm, rebalance, and support the body on several levels: physiologically, systemically, organically and pranically.

NYTT 304 |

Assisting: Contact and context

Instructor: Elizabeth Emberly

As yoga becomes more accessible and integrated into mainstream living some of its practices
have been challenged as being outdated. There is no question that the controversy of assisting
students in yoga classes is on the rise and leaves teachers mystified as to how to navigate
skillfully and provide the best support possible for each student. This workshop explores the
complexity of this exact subject matter and offers yoga teachers nuanced skills of listening,
observing, touching and subtly deepening their student’s yoga practice. Emphasis will be placed
on handing back agency to students and supporting the continued development of consent culture
while expanding a skillset that supports individual students who are nurtured by kinesthetic
touch.

Show schedule for this module

Dates: April 20 and 27 (1-6 pm) and April 21 and 28 (2-7 pm)

NYTT 305 | Sequencing: Methodologies for building creative, safe, and purposeful yoga classes

Instructor: Kreg Weiss and Elizabeth Emberly

Like people, yoga sequences come in a variety of shapes and sizes and because of this makes sequencing yoga classes an art form. This course is intended for new or experienced yoga teachers looking to enhance their sequencing skills and inject creativity, education and inspiration into their classes. This module will take you through a variety of experiential and anatomically based yoga sequences in order to deepen your understanding of yoga asana. These sequencing methods will be examined, dissected and emitted back to you so that you may offer clear guided instruction through safe and effective practice sequences.

Show schedule for this module

Dates: May 25 (1-6 pm) and May 26 (2-7 pm) + 10 hr Online course

NYTT 306 | Naada Yoga: Sound of Yoga

Instructor: Ann Dyer and Elizabeth Emberly

Yogis across the centuries have harnessed the power of sound to fuel their yoga practice. Traditionally chanting and deep listening held a central role in yogic practice in India. When yoga migrated to the west the physical practice of asana was emphasized and the place of nada anusandhana (yogic sound practice) faded into the background. In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence in yogic chant in studios across the country for its reputation as the simple, quick, easy yogic path. Discover the traditions of sound in yoga and learn how to integrate them into a modern yoga practice as both a student and teacher with one of North America’s leading teachers on the subject.
