​

​Day One - 9.30am - 7.30pm:

Location: Forest Green Village Hall, Horsham Road, Forest Green Village, Dorking, Surrey Hills, RH5 5RZ

Lunch: Supplied

Hours: All 10.5 contact hours are taught by Skip Oliver.

 

Working through Structure One of the tried and tested Yoga Bananas® Technique - This is a full-on demonstration day in which you will be expected to be fully immersed. The day includes original storytelling and rhythm and rhyme to yoga movement because where there's an action there's a story. On this day you will begin to understand how movement and physicality play a role in helping children understand and take control of their mind's narrative.

 

Be prepared to connect with your inner child as you learn breath awareness, postural alignment, dynamic empathy exercises, controlled transitions, the power of respect, songs, chants, visualisations, classroom management and much, much more, and always through creative techniques that spark the imagination. The Technique not only builds children's confidence but by the very nature of yoga and its roots within the sacred Vedic tradition offers children the opportunity to explore their intuitive nature and spirituality.

 

Homework will be set on this day so it is important that nothing is planned for the evening.

​

Practical Assessment Day and Working through Structure Two of the Yoga Bananas® Technique - On this day you will teach a whole Structure One  class and receive constructive feedback from Skip.

Following this, Skip will demonstrate her Storyos™ - original and epic stories narrated through asana. On this day you will also learn other Alternative Class Structures that are a total departure from Structure One and Structure Two to further expand your repertoire. Following this, Skip will demonstrate any remaining cameo techniques.
