9 months of transformation

I've been wanting to offer a yoga immersion experience and teacher training program for several years now. In fact it was one of the motivating factors in opening blue lotus! Just as you can only go so far into the practice taking a few classes per week, I want to go deeper in my teaching as well-- having the space and time to get into the "tofu" of yoga. :)

I was so incredibly pleased, suprised, and delighted to be joined by more than 30 others for the information session we had last Sunday night. It was so affirming to know that what I feel inspired to share with the community was received with so much enthusiasm.

Many good questions came up, and I was asked to post a summary, for those who were unable to attend.

  • The program will last for nine months, one weekend per month. Although the times vary slighty, in general, we will meet Friday afternoon and evening, all day Saturday, and Sundays 7am - 3pm.
  • The course is open to anyone who has had at least one year of consistent practice.
  • Readyness for the course is not related to performing advanced postures, but rather an openness and willingness to learn and be stretched in ways other than just the physical.
  • Before applying, students new to the blue should take several classes to ensure that it is an environment that feels good to them. This is a way to deepen our experience of ourselves, as well as our experience of community.
  • Although each weekend is different, you can expect to enjoy a mix of practice, lecture, teaching practice, alignment/refinement and structural and energetic anatomy each module.
  • In addition to the weekend modules, there are additional class attendance and assisting/observing hours that must be completed. See details on the FAQ www.bluelotusnc.com
  • The program is open to men and women of all ages-- as of today, we have enrollments of both, between the early 20s and mid 60s!

Two spaces remain for the session beginning this December, as we are capping enrollment at 18. We will run the next course from September 2009 - May 2010.
