Overview
One of the first things to wain once you start teaching is your own personal practice. In this intimate 3 day course Nikki aims to inspire you, to reignite your passion and refine your own personal practice as well as empower you with the skills to confidently and safely assist your students in advancing their practice, even when your personal practice does not include these postures quite yet!
Daily practices will focus on the sequencing and preparational poses needed to open the specific areas of the body that will guide you into these advanced families of asana. More importantly, you will identify the key areas where you need to build intrinsic strength and stamina and create a home practice to support these goals.
