Getting Ready for Assessment with Heather Haxo Phillips
This workshop is designed for those who are considering certification for the first time, and those who are interested in assessment at the next level. What will I get out of certification? What is the process? How can I prepare for it? This interactive workshop will answer these questions and more. You will learn skills to help you prepare for each element of the certification process. Learn how to select and work with your mentor, what study methods that can prepare you for the demonstrated practice, pranayama, teaching AND the written test. Learn to address your own strengths and weaknesses, and maximize your study time in the months and years before assessment. This workshop will not include any asana or teaching specifics. It is a perfect precursor to the Assessment Readiness series starting in March with Jaki Nett.

DIRECT FROM INDIA: LEARN TO CHANT THE YOGA SUTRAS
with Dr. Sucheta Paranjpe
with Dr. Sucheta Paranjpe
This is a rare opportunity to work with, Dr. Sucheta Paranjpe, a noted Sanskrit scholar and teacher who lives in Pune India. She is the Sanskrit teacher to Lois Steinberg and a former advisor on the Lyricized Yoga Sutras project.
The Yoga Sutras were passed down orally for thousands of years before being written down by Pantajali. Some believe there is a great power in simply chanting them in Sanskrit. Even B.K.S. Iyengar learned to chant the sutras before absorbing their meaning.
In this fun and interactive workshop Dr. Sucheta Paranjpe will guide students through the Yoga Sutras of Pantajali. Her engaging and encouraging style helps even those new to sanskrit find their voice and rhythm to partake in the inherent powers of the sutras. Designed for students and teachers alike, Dr Paranjpe helps build the confidence in intonation and understanding necessary to share and teach the sutras.

Pranayama and the dynamics of optimal breathing with David Sirgany
Life itself depends on breathing. Yet, in the course of life, we usually receive little if any instruction on how to breathe most optimally. In this informative three and a half-hour experiential workshop we will explore the general anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system as it relates to our yoga practice and to our energetic well-being. In addition you will learn how to set up and begin the initial stage of a pranayama (yogic breathing) practice. New material will be shared for those who have already taken pranayama with David.
