Zoe has been delivering Teacher Training for over twenty years now. Her very first CPD was ‘Strength in Asana’. She has decided to revisit this theme. She explains why:- "When I first considered the relevance of Strength in Asana 20+ years ago, this was quite a shock to many yoga practitioners as the focus of yoga at that time was on stretching and becoming more flexible; relaxing and letting go. Yet yoga is a balance of all things. We need to be able to both stretch and strengthen muscles; to recharge and re-energise, as well as relax and let go. My experience had shown me that working with the physical practice from the base of strength allows students to stretch safely.
‘20 Years On’, I am still on the same path. However, the world beyond yoga (medical, physios, fitness gurus, etc) now agree that yoga can be considered a resistance training practice, as we use our body as a weight, moving into and out of gravity in a controlled mindful manner in our yoga poses; in other words, a strengthening practice."
The workshop considers current research on the importance of working with strength and how this relates to everyday yoga teaching; as well as looking how to incorporate strengthening techniques, through specific relevant sequences, into general class teaching.
