Do you struggle to create different experiences for your
students Are you in need of inspiration in your teaching
This day is designed to explore different ways in which a
peak sequence can be taught with a different focus to
vary students’ experiences, and how stories from yoga
philosophy can be told through asana. It is a follow-on
day from the Creative Teaching IST Day piloted in Kent
in February 2012 but you do not need to have attended
that day to benefit significantly from attending this one.
The morning will focus on experiencing Paul’s ideas
and teaching and the afternoon will centre on group work
designing lesson plans to teach a concept, story or idea
from the Gita, Upanishads or Sutras. By the end of the
day teachers will have new strategies and plans to
introduce concepts, stories and ideas in their lessons and
their efforts will be shared by email afterwards.
Please bring a copy of the yoga sutras, HYP and
Upanishads if possible.
Yoga and the Elastic Body
with
Gary Carter
BWY SE Region
General Day

Detling Village Hall

Jan Palmer
Gary is a well known, highly respected teacher of yoga.
He has lectured extensively on the anatomy of yoga in the
UK, Europe and America. He is the founder of the Natural
Bodies Centre in Brighton, dedicated to the work and
approach of Vanda Scaravelli which was not so much
about executing postures but cultivating the conditions that
allow the body’s natural intelligence to awaken.
This day will give you the opportunity to explore the
nature of the fluid elasticity of the body and the importance
of the support, safety and freedom that elastic recoil can
give us. Practising our yoga in a particular way allows us
to engage with our fascia and myofascial to bring a level
of lightness and buoyancy to our movements, which gives
us an energy-efficient way of moving. This is a day suited
to those who wish to understand the body in great depth
and some posture work will be interspersed through the
day to illustrate the theory and consolidate understanding.
A meditation stool may be useful for the short talks.
