Learn how to offer your students grounding, spinal awareness, strength building, and ease in the body and breath in this Adaptive Yoga workshop with Carey Sims.
“When adapting postural yoga techniques, teachers often get stuck on how to modify this or that shape. My philosophy is if we move in the right ways, the shapes will appear. I am interested in bringing peoples’ awareness to their breath and experience and focusing on functional movements they can use in their daily lives. To me, that is much more useful than mastering some arbitrary shape.”
What to expect:
Adaptive Yoga practices led by Carey each day
Explore ways to adapt functional movement and breathwork to make them accessible
