Yoga For Addicts Teacher Training: Preparation: Sunday, September 15, 2013

Sages say to facilitate an experience of yoga, there is a combination of human effort and Divine grace. Einstein is rumored to have said that creativity ultimately was up to grace, and grace seems to favor the prepared.

Our job as yoga teacher is to facilitate, prepare, and share the techniques of yoga so yogis who show up might possibly have an experience of yoga. Yoga is always happening, but sometimes we don't see it clearly.

We used this as a background for sequencing. As a model for a class sequence we used vulnerability, courage and being comfortable in the unknown as our primary alignment cues towards camel pose.
