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 />
