The Seat of the Teacher, Power & Alignment® 50-Hour Module
The skill of holding space effectively is one of the most potent tools for nurturing supportive environments in diverse personal and professional settings. It is, however, rarely formally taught or explored in training programmes.
This 50-hour module is suited for anyone, regardless of whether you are a yoga teacher, who is intrigued by the art and science around holding space, examined through the perspectives of yogic wisdom, contemplative science, and psychological insights. Notably, this training appeals to yoga teachers seeking guidance to become more empowered and effective space holders, as well as to hone their authentic voice, enabling them to share their knowledge and experience with confidence and clarity.
This module can be taken as standalone Yoga Alliance CE hours or as part of the Power & Alignment® certification. More information on the full certification can be found here.
