In this 16 hour sculpt training for 200-hour certified yoga instructors or certified fitness professionals, you will deepen into dynamics of breath, physical yoga postures, strength training exercises, cueing to muscle focus, intentionally sequencing, theming, and building playlists for your classes.

In this 5 day program, you will learn a template sculpt sequence by breaking it down to explore the depth of breath, alignment, anatomical intention, and muscle activation of each pose.  Through physical exploration and practice teaching, we invite you to deepen your awareness of our bodies, grow as a student and expand your teaching skills. Join us on this journey of self discovery, awaken your creativity, and empower your voice within a supportive community. 

Join our lead teachers for this amazing section of our famous “Posture Clinic” series. We have run these before and they were a big hit. We were able to see (and so where the participants) real physical and mental change in how people understood their own bodies, how they moved in and out of poses.

If you are thinking about our 200 hour teacher training this is a great way to come and get to know us and our philosophies on movement and yoga!

In this two hour workshop you will explore all things associated with the beginning of class (Integration) and very specifically on the “high to low pushup” “cobra, updog, high pushup” series of poses. Did you know that as teachers we see maybe one or two people in a class who have a solid understanding of how and why these poses are done and how to do them best for their body. This is a major part of your vinyasa class, its a difficult set of moves and it’s always changing depending on what your body is working with. Did you know the angle of your wrist, elbow and shoulder joints make a difference on where you should put your hands? Or how to control an overarching in up dog? We can’t wait to explore with you! You will walk away with a deeper knowledge of why we do things the way we do at LPY and how you can tailor this part of your practice to your own body.

Space will be limited. There will be the option to have hands on adjustments or not if you are more comfortable that way.

What you say as a yoga teacher both in class and in other forums has a profound impact on many things. Words and phrasing can affect who feels welcome and included in a classes, how much personal agency the participants have to make choices, and so much more.

This workshop will help you to reflect on the current language you use as a teacher and uncover opportunities to refine your communication where it is causing exclusivity or a loss of agency in your classes. You will be offered progressive and ongoing ways to expose and refine how you offer instructions and information in classes so that all feel their welcome and on a level playing field as well as feeling empowered to make confident personal choices that are right for them.

This is a live-streamed workshop. A link will be sent to you shortly before the workshop.

About Alex:

Alexandria is an internationally respected teachers’ teacher who leads teacher trainings and workshops around the world. Through her Yoga Physics methodology she aims to clearly explain the what, why’s and how’s of asana, meditation and yogic philosophy making the practice approachable for everyone, of every level and of every walk of life. She shares this knowledge with her students and other teachers so they can practice and teach wisely, sustainably and mindfully. Her in-person continuing education workshops and online DeConstruct to ReConstruct Course, as well as her 300 hour teacher intensive train teachers to be better informed on yogic philosophy and history, the physical mechanics of the body and how to apply that knowledge to asana, as well as how to ethically lead group classes that are accessible and sensitive to all. Her Yoga Physics mentorship program is helping teachers build on their strengths, while discovering their own unique voices.

As a former competitive gymnast, the physical challenges of a rigorous and highly technical yoga practice initially provided Alex with a natural familiarity, but it was yoga’s philosophical concepts and their application to one’s life that were and still remain her driving interest beyond the physical technique of asana. Through a series of significant and unforeseen injuries her practice and teaching has dramatically evolved towards sustainability and accessibility. Alex has spent years researching the reasons that yoga classes and poses are often unsustainable and carry risks for the population who can perform them while also being inaccessible to a large portion of the population. 

Years of research, scientific inquiry, self inquiry/scrutiny, development and integration have gone into Alex’s work. The result is an evolved set of techniques and approaches that eliminate the problematic components of physical asana practices and group classes while providing an in-depth understanding of how individual teachers situate themselves within these dynamics. In order to move forwards from the current Western paradigm, Alex’s courses add techniques that retain the qualities students love about yoga classes but allow students to engage in personal inquiry with agency at a much greater depth. The class formats and teaching tools that Alex offers are sustainable and accessible for anyone that wants to take class regardless of circumstance and that teach yoga’s philosophy in real time in an experiential way.

Alex’s emphasis on paying attention and her insistence on each individual respecting their own uniqueness encourages them to love and celebrate who they are. It’s this love of their own unique perfection that creates true change in her students so they can connect with more grace to themselves, to others and to the world.

In this introductory training you will learn basic hands on assists to help support your students and enhance their experience as they move through class. 

Assists are not meant to “fix” the students alignment but to rather support them where they are and keep them safe. 

Learning to leave enough space and time within the postures and to step up your teaching. 

Led by Jen Murray you will learn about the nuance behind assisting in a class. Talk through issues like consent, energetic exchange, group dynamic and learn how to approach assists with care and thoughtfulness. You will have the opportunity to practice hands on assists with a live class led by Jen.
