100 Hour Intensive Week 6:

February 12-February 17, 2024

MONDAY February 12, Day 21:

• Mantra Meditation PRACTICE with us. CLICK HERE to access the Other Mantras doc. JOURNAL PROMPT: Consider the “group effect”. Stef brought this up about journaling too. What’s the difference of journaling, doing mantra, asana, etc alone vs in a group? Self-guided vs with a teacher? At home at a studio? How can you consider this as you teach your own classes, online + in-person? 1 hr, YTT1.

• I forgot to hit record, but we had a great practice exploring the full standing sequence and about the first half of primary. My gift to you? Guest Teacher, Mindy Pistacchio: PRACTICE Ashtanga Standing Sequence with modifications with Mindy. Mindy is a massage therapist as well as a co-trainer with our yoga school and teacher of many movements like swim, ski, etc. You’ll find her anatomy classes and more in our ONLINE MODULES for both the 200 + 300 hour certifications. Read Mindy’s bio and meet the rest of the training team by clicking here. 1 hr, YTT1.

  • HOMEWORK: WRITE a BIO. Consider you’ve been asked to guest teach, perhaps for an organization or a private event, maybe at a public community offering or small gathering. Write a BIOGRAPHY, 5-10 sentences in the third person, ie “Chrissy (Insert your name) loves teaching yoga….” Upload this bio and a PHOTO of yourself to our media album. Already done this for another part of the program??? Either use your same bio and photo, or do it again fresh! Theoretically, this bio would be used to introduce you and your classes to the community. .5 hour, YTT4.

• Relevant to our current discussion and exploration of headstand I’m including a reading from Module 3 of our 200 hour training, *please* READ this article and consider: Will you incorporate (or do you already?) inversions in your own practice? In your teaching? How can we approach these asanas fairly + safely?JOURNAL + Email Chrissy a short summary of your thoughts! (.5 hr, YTT2)
