Theming workshop TT | Virtual | 10 hours

02 October 2021 | VIRTUAL LIVESTREAM with Jennie Wadsten

This inspiring one-day workshop follows on from our four-day Sequencing course with Melanie Cooper and Jennie Wadsten. It can be attended by anybody, as a stand-alone course or as an optional module on our 300-hour programme. 

Students doing the sequencing course can add these theming hours on to their existing trainings to gain a 50 hour training certificate. You will be required to do some homework  around Theming and will get the opportunity to get some individual feedback  and guidance from your assignment from Jennie. 

Course Overview

Theming as a Yoga Teacher is a wonderful way to keep your classes inspiring for the students and interesting for you as well. Many teachers “sandwich" themes in at the beginning and end of the class, which is not as powerful as a class that seamlessly interweaves a theme throughout.

Learn to share the wisdom of yoga teachings through this workshop with long time teacher and lead Level 2 teacher Jennie Wadsten. Jennie teaches in an accessible and fun way and interactive way, encouraging yoga teachers to find their authentic voice and helping them to spread their yogic knowledge in a comprehensible, intelligent and useful way.

She creates an atmosphere that is welcoming and kind and never leaves any one behind. It’s easy to feel safe in Jennies hands. She is a breath of fresh air and I am grateful for her spirit, experience and energy that she contributes to the yoga world.
