Aki Omori Embodied anatomy and movement exploration. Course Mentor<br />

www.akiomori.blogspot.com<br />

Course structure and content<br />

Aki has studied many styles of yoga over the last 20<br />

years. She is a Somatic Movement Therapist and<br />

trained in Structural <strong>Yoga</strong> Therapy. She teaches from<br />

movement principles rather than with the objective of<br />

simply achieving forms. She is also a well recognised<br />

restorative yoga teacher and an experienced<br />

pranayama practitioner. She is inspired by tantra and<br />

devoted to advaita (non-dual) teaching. Aki teaches at<br />

London’s Triyoga, at Soho, Chelsea and Primrose Hill.<br />

Aki is also a keen contact improviser!<br />

The course will take place intensively from October 2012 - July 2013, with some<br />

weekends starting on Friday evening. A typical day is from 10 to 6pm – with a lunch break!<br />

During this time you will be expected to undertake a case study (to be agreed) typically in<br />

a training institution, or with a company or individual performer. This case study will form<br />

an integral part of the final assessment and our exciting research forum.<br />

Module 1. ASANA PRACTICE AND TECHNIQUES<br />

This module will give students the opportunity to deepen their own inquiry into their<br />

practice and to develop the skills to teach yoga in the vinyasa flow style, modifying<br />

elements of the practice to suit different levels of ability and/or dance background. The<br />

underlying principle of this module is to strengthen and develop personal practice as well<br />

as develop skills in sequencing, demonstration, sensitivity to breath and application of safe<br />

movement/dance practice. Yin yoga, restorative yoga and somatic movement practices are<br />

also explored within this module, as are pranayama and meditation techniques.<br />
