Yoga Classes - Live Love Teach - Yoga Teacher Training School

SYCHRONIZED VINYASA---  When Philip asks you to match group breath - soon after you will follow the vinyasa listening to the group breath only- with no cues from Philip...just the breath to repeat/follow the previous salutation.  TEACHERS notice how Philip inserts "how yoga works" language.

Class begins 1.5 minutes into recording.    "Lay down your arms, and come without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last."  ACIM L.190

NOTE: Class starts at about 6 minutes into the recording.  Skip ahead, or if you are interested in Eating Disorders and Yoga, LLT graduate Chelsea Roff describes her work as Founder and Director of Eat Breathe Thrive, a non-profit organization that prevents and helps individuals fully recover from eating disorders through yoga. Mandy Roush is co-founder of Root Down Yoga with her husband Nick. She is a Live Love Teach Facilitator and travels to studios to introduce Live Love Teach teacher principles to the teachers.  If interested, info@liveloveteach.com. A lot of what makes this class powerful is what she is NOT saying and NOT doing...

Hi -It’s Philip   Just back from a weeklong Advanced Yoga Teacher Training given by Stacy and me  at Stacy and Dave Dockin’s newest  studio, in Ft Worth, Texas, on the Trinity River Trail.   It’s truly beautiful and I look forward to offering more trainings there.  Next month Stacy is offering a 200-hour for new teachers, and many others.   This is a class taught by the group of “graduating” teachers at the very end of the week.  Enjoy!

Philip's public class during a teacher training at Live Love Teach teacher Mandy Roush's thriving studio. 

I discovered that Dayton is a haven for hipsters!   I was at Practice Yoga - a cool studio there owned by a Live love Teach teacher – Kathi Kizirnis-  and Kim Carter.  I taught a weekend for a teacher training they were doing…and also taught some public classes- this is one of them.   The first 18 minutes is a Q and A you might find interesting.  The rest is a compact, fast moving dynamic vinyasa class.  A tad over an hour.     As always, we assume you already know basic poses and alignment.    If you want just the class, cue it up at 18 minutes and get into down dog!  

This is a class from our recent 5-day LLT teacher training in Mexico.  The teachers all took a part and taught it on the last day.  One remarkable part is that there is are number of teachers who never taught before this training and they are just mixed in …as always we assume you already know basic alignment-  this class is one hour and 20 minutes.   Intr Paula RomkeySun A:  Cameron GravesSun A:  Shaena CampbellSun A:  Bill PrysockSun B:  Josif WittnikSun B:  Ellen BainStanding 1:  Maxine MunroStanding 2:  Tomomi KojimaStanding 3:  Leslie HunterStanding 4:  Dave ParrStanding 5:  Danielle JacobsBalance 1:  Mary Beth HowellBalance 2:  Chelsea PaxtonBalance 3:  Scott ReschCore 1:  Andrea AndriopolousCore 2:  Izabela MeloBackbends 1:  Melinda RolandBackbends 2:  Mary Mackinnon BoydHips 1:  Tamara HilliardHips 2:  Elizabeth AutenHips 3:  Jessie BraunSeated Folds & Twists:  Sue JonesReclined Postures:  Laura DeMariaInversions:  Lisa WalkerSavasana:  Marisa Tingle

Here is a 45-minute Dynamic Vinyasa class.  Philip Urso starts it and Stacy Dockins finishes it  -as usual we assume you already know basic alignment and want to flow.    Then Deborah Williamson takes you through a 35-minute Yoga Nidra.  If you have never done the Yoga Nidra- “yogic sleep” you may find it exceptionally restful.  One study I saw claimed 1-hour of Nidra was equivalent to 4-hours of “regular sleep.  You could use these together or apart!  The Nidra begins at about 42 minutes in--- Enjoy!    Live music by Kellie Lin Knott – if you listen you can hear a big fire crackling in the fireplace.    It you’re ready to practice, get into Chair pose, Utkatasana right now!

I thought you might enjoy this very unusual class.  It is a teacher training drill from Live Love Teach’s recent 5- day training in Montana.  It is a complete 75-minute class, yes, but it is taught by all the teachers in training – 3 minutes each!  In this drill, you will hear the teachers playing –playing is the right word-  with breath and flow, tension and release, and expanding their range of expression. (Most of the time we are broken into small groups- occasionally we join into one big class)  There are all levels of teachers here- brand new teachers and experienced ones ,  and – many styles- teachers of vinyasa, ana forest, astanga,  and others.  More info see http://www.liveloveteach.com/   As always. we assume that you already know basic alignment and want to flow.  This is not for raw beginners, but if you know basic poses and alignment you should be ok.
