Lori & Jeremy
Aspen, Colorado, USA
Join Lori and Jeremy as they collaborate together in this mindful and fluid practice celebrating the Garuda Mudra which connects to our freedom or moksha and celebrates takes responsibility for our actions. This class represents us taking flight and moving with grace as we float and soar above the earth.
Throughout the masterclass, Lori and Jeremy are weaving the power of the Garuda Mudra to allow you to explore situations with new found freedom in your body and mind. The word garuda means “eagle” in Sanskrit and mudra means, “gesture of.” By activating blood flow, the garuda mudra invigorates and balances the vata energy on both sides of the body.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE
Join Alysia and journey through the practical practice of poses.
Grab a friend, and let’s practice the physical assist of each pose.
Teaching Off the Mat
A masterful yoga teacher understands that effective teaching extends beyond physical movements and involves the art of verbal instruction and presence. One essential skill for a yoga teacher to master is the ability to teach off the mat, using vocal cues and verbal guidance without relying solely on physical demonstrations. This skill not only enhances the teacher’s ability to connect with students but also allows for greater flexibility and effectiveness in offering assistance and adjustments. Verbal cues also empower students to cultivate a more introspective and mindful approach to their practice, as they learn to rely on internal awareness rather than external demonstration.
Moreover, teaching off the mat enables yoga teachers to move freely around the room, offering individualized assistance and adjustments to students as needed. This hands-on approach allows teachers to provide personalized guidance tailored to each student’s unique needs, alignment, and level of experience. By offering verbal cues and adjustments from different vantage points in the room, teachers can offer a more comprehensive understanding of each posture and help students deepen their practice safely and effectively.
Additionally, teaching off the mat encourages a dynamic and interactive yoga environment where students feel supported and encouraged to explore their practice with curiosity and openness. Rather than being confined to a fixed position on the mat, teachers can actively engage with students, offering encouragement, inspiration, and feedback throughout the class.
Join Lori as she teaches this flow 100% off the mat. She guides you through a full vinyasa class bringing you to the peak pose of Hanumanasana as she threads through the story of Hanuman, the Monkey King. Trust her vocal guidance, enjoy the story, notice the cadence of the flow and immerse yourself into the experience.
