Yoga Physics Weekend
by
Alexandria Crow
 Transform your classes and practice from "one size fits all" approach to one that is custom tailored to each and every individual. Uncover the commonly overlooked elements that contribute to classes lacking sustainability, accessibility, and philosophical clarity. Attendance for full weekend is encouraged as all information from prior sessions will be utilized to create new class plans that will start teachers on a road to long term implementation and change. Attendees will leave with concrete methods for developing unique, enjoyable classes for all students.
Friday | 6:30-9 pm
Philosophy In Asana Classes: A Conundrum
Teaching philosophy via a physical, asana-based technique can be a challenge. We will spend time devising ways to teach philosophical concepts by both using physicality as a tool, and without using physicality at all. We will look at what we are trying to teach and learn in asana-based yoga classes today, tying those concepts back to classical texts such as The Bhagavad Gita, The Yoga Sutras, and The Upanishads.
You will:
o Learn how to create classes that are rooted in real time philosophical exploration with poses, activities and inquiry on finding the present moment
o Discover what blocks students from making choices from the present moment
o Determine how to remove blocks by making alternative choices from the present moment
Lecture, Discussion + Practice.
Saturday | 1:30-6 pm
Yoga For Everybody & Anybody: The Group Class Dilemma
There are some very clear factors causing classes to be less accessible and sustainable than we would like. In this workshop, we will look at a well-defined list of factors that Alexandria has spent years compiling and researching that are affecting current classes in ways that are less than optimal. Anatomy, biomechanics, classroom dynamics, verbal instructing techniques and more, will all be included and discussed in the lecture as contributing factors.
Participants will be offered ways to develop practice and teaching techniques that face those factors head on while taking each individual into account.
You will:
o Be guided through physical practices comparing and contrasting the current posture teaching methodology
o Explore new ways to approach asana and experiment with its components o Leave with clear ways to incorporate this information into your classes right away
Lecture, Discussion, Practice + Application.
Sunday | 1:30-6 pm
The Class Planning Rut: Evolving Your Teaching Style
For teachers, class planning can be tricky when met with information overload or when faced with insufficient resources to accomplish the task. Not to mention how scary it can be when introducing something new or different. And then there’s the wild creativity that can creep in just to get out of a perceived rut.
In this workshop, we will:
o Discuss how to introduce new concepts from the philosophical to the physical
o Learn how to make small changes over time that add up to a huge transformation long term
o Explore a series of mini-practices that creatively approach introducing new information via adapted and more effective postures, progressive drills based on a theme, purposeful movement explorations and more
Lecture, Discussion, Practice + Application. Yoga Physics Weekend

ALL of my health problems are gone, and more importantly so are my negative attachments to those problems. My worries have been replaced with such lightness and a real sense of playfulness. Fun is back." Sara D "My self-treatment has been consistent and is still a big part of my morning routine. I feel so blessed to be able to give myself this gift every morning after meditation."

I took her class in January and, in the following 3 months, I worked more than I had ever worked during any tax season, but I was also the least stressed I had ever been. I never dreamed Reiki would help me that much and now, after taking her Level 2 class as well, I am amazed at all the wonderful new things I have discovered about myself and the world around me. I am so very grateful to Eleonore for starting me on this wondrous journey! Her wisdom and radiant energy has truly been a blessing in my life!"
