Power Yoga Teacher Training
Our first module of Power Yoga Teacher Training will kick off with an expert in the field of biomechanics, Jules Mitchell.
Jules Mitchell, MS, LMT, ERYT 500 is a regular contributor to yoga teacher training programs worldwide, providing the most current research in biomechanics. As adjunct faculty at Arizona State University, she consultants on research studies measuring the effects of yoga therapy on special populations.
Jules shares the most useful and applicable pieces of her research with the yoga community to deepen understanding of the science behind the how and why of the postural practice. Her teachings integrate numerous modalities, balancing the somatic aspects of yoga with the most current exercise science.
In this 3 session course, we will discuss in detail concepts from Jules’ book, Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined, and learn how biomechanics applies to postures and movement. Jules will explain biomechanics in simple, useful terms, as well as challenge and make sense out of common and confusing cuing.
Participants will read 2 chapters each week, submit questions up to 24 hours prior to each online session, and attend 3 real-time online sessions. Online sessions will include lecture and live Q&A discussion with Jules.
~ Enrollment is limited to Omaha Power Yoga participants and teacher trainees.
~ Webinars will be recorded, however, access to the recordings will only be available for a short time after the end of the course.
