Yoga Postures-Each week we will explore a range of postures divided into the following categories: standing poses, standing balancing, backbends, inversions, arm balancing, and twists, forward folds and seated postures. You will learn the alignment, health benefits and modifications for each posture. Our goal is to help shape your path to becoming a confident teacher- you will continuously apply, practice and learn how to effectively verbalize the former to your students.
