Stand-up Paddleboard Yoga Teacher Training
|
Since ancient times, humans have naturally gravitated to the water for its healing and transformational properties. Many ancient cultures believed that the water element was crucial to balancing the body and finding physical harmony. Today, many of us still flock to the water, especially in the summer, to find clarity and to calm the mind. Even when we are not near a beach or a lake, we take long showers or warm baths to relax and find ease, in the mind and body. It makes sense that teaching yoga on the water is becoming more popular, especially among women since water embodies the feminine. It also characterizes downward, inward energy. Fluid in nature, the water element helps us return to peace and center at the end of a cycle. It's also a symbol for stillness and conservation.
Flow with us this season to learn how to effectively transition your yoga students' land practice to the water, while soaking-up sunshine and immersing in nature. This is an empowering program for anyone who wants to learn a new skill, challenge all aspects of their multi-dimensional being, and wishes to connect deeply with the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether. |
