“The land of healing lies within, radiant with the happiness
that is blindly sought in a thousand outer directions.” ~Swami Vivekananda
I am still on a high after spending the past weekend in the
yoga treehouse immersed in a Yapana training called Structural Assessment!
We hosted another Yapana teacher training from Leeann Carey
Yoga. This time, the focus was on how to
assess a person’s body structure. Once
you know how someone’s “insides” work, then it becomes easy to apply yoga poses
and stretches to therapeutically address their unique needs.
Chrys Kub was our teacher, and she was every bit as
knowledgeable about the topic as Leeann and Jules have been with their
teaching. I simply love her
personality. She is upbeat, fun, and you
can just feel and see how much she loves to teach yoga therapy.
One special treat was the two (yes, two!) Yapana classes Chrys
taught. We had a lovely Saturday morning
practice with the Barefoot Works yogis and yoginis while the rain softly fell
outside. And a 15 minute Savasana.
Ohh, how nice to have a 15 minute Savasana!
Our Sunday class was nearly three hours
long. Three fantastic hours of an upper
body focused practice…
There are so many things I will take away from this
training…we learned a ton of neat arm stretches, more ways to incorporate props
into the practice to create joint mobility, and so much else. I look forward to incorporating some of
Chrys’ wisdom in my classes!
