Mentoring & Post Graduate Yoga Practice

Mentoring & Post Graduate Yoga Practice

Overview

With over 30 years of practice, 25 years teaching, and 12 years of teacher training experience including mentoring, Flo is now a registered mentor with Yoga Australia. Mentoring is a required part of many teacher trainings. You can use these sessions towards the mentoring hours required to complete your Level 1 or 2 registered Yoga Australia teacher training. Or, as a post graduate student, deepen your expertise, answer questions, and gain required CPD points as a registered Yoga Australia teacher.

Specialities:

  • Teaching of asana in intelligent steps-modifying asanas, use of props, adjusting skills
  • Teaching of pranayama-progression, working with prana in asana, pranayama practice yoga as therapy
  • Meditation techniques Yoga Nidra-practice, mantra practice
  • I am happy to do either open or curriculum-based sessions.

Mentoring sessions can take many forms:

  • Small group classes are offered to Post Graduate students in which we practice together, enhance our asana and pranayama, refresh our prop use and teaching techniques, and afterwards discuss the practice with time for questions.
  • Private sessions of a practical nature which can focus on anything that you are having difficulty with in teaching or in practice
  • Private sessions (face to face or via zoom, phone or email) which may be simply to ask questions and receive ideas about any issues that may have come up as a teacher
  • Assisting in classes or on retreats where you get ‘on the job’ training.

Prana, Tejas, Ojas

Prana Tejas and Ojas are the essential and beneficial forms of Vata (air) Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water). Unlike the doshas, which can be factors in disease, the vital essences promote health, creativity and well-being, and provide the support for deeper yogic and meditation practices.

3. Prana-Primal Life Force

Prana is the subtle essence of air and space/vata. It is the master force behind all psychophysical functions and is responsible for the co-ordination of breath, senses and mind. It governs the unfoldment of all higher states of consciousness.

Increased prana is necessary to provide the enthusiasm, creativity and adaptability necessary for the spiritual path, without which we lack energy and motivation to do our practices.

Once ojas and tejas are developed, higher prana can come forth. Prana is developed through;

  • Pranayama (this is the main tool)
  • Meditations on space and sound
  • Regular and correct yoga practice (including dynamic practices and chest openers if possible)
  • Spending time in fresh open air
  • Eating fresh organic foods
