Recharge: A Retreat for Yoga and Movement Teachers

Sunday–Friday, October 1–6, 2023

EXPAND YOUR TEACHING SKILLS

We help our students best when we feel deeply connected to the reasons why we teach.

Join authors and expert yoga teachers Sage Rountree and Alexandra DeSiato for an opportunity to collaborate with other movement teachers, learn ways to grow your teaching in fulfilling directions, and fill your own cup so you can pour for others. You will explore:

  • Ways to find your “Why” so you can teach from a centered place of purpose
  • Common classroom management problems teachers encounter and compassionate ways to address them
  • How to redefine your language and nonverbal communication to include everyone
  • Ways to design sequences and lesson plans to balance consistency and variety
  • Creative approaches to find new opportunities to share yoga and movement with others
  • Best practices to level up your yoga teaching professionalism.

Along the way, we’ll practice and teach asana, revel in our shared experience, and learn from each other. Return home with a renewed sense of purpose, confidence, and a clear map for how to invigorate your students.

NOTE This program is appropriate for all yoga and movement teachers whether you’ve been teaching for years, are fresh out of yoga teacher training, teach full-time, or just occasionally.
