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.

The Pancha Mahabhutas-AIR

We continue our journey through the 5 great Elements.

4. Air

  • Air represents all forces and the movement that transpires as a result of those forces. The origin of air is sparsha. Sparsha is the tanmatra–primordial, unmanifested form–of touch. Sparsha is the potential of the touch experience, expressed in its most subtle form.
  • The qualities of the Air element are; mobile, cool, light, dry, rough, subtle, flowing, sharp, clear, and hard.
  • The ancient rishis recognized air as the immediate source of life. A lack of air will kill us faster than a lack of any other element. Thus, the concept of vayu (air) is synonymous with that of prana (life energy).
  • In yoga practice, the air element primarily relates to breath, movement, and the heart chakra. It's associated with qualities like freedom, expansion, and connection. Practices like pranayama (breath control), backbends, and balancing poses help cultivate the air element, fostering openness, lightness, and a sense of presence.
