$36.00 History of Modern Postural Yoga
From your sticky mat today all the way back to the banks of the Ganges,
this engaging two-hour workshop makes yoga history relevant to you.
Tara's dynamic lecture style and generative questions guide you through
the complicated history of yoga in a fascinating and accessible way. Who
created and named these poses? Are these poses we do actually ancient?
Understanding the answers to these questions (and many more!) will begin
to unpack yoga's history and your place in it.
This workshop helps us
all move from cultural appropriation to cultural appreciation, gives
important meaning-making context for present-day practice, and inspires
you to continue to be a part of the diverse and ever-evolving practices
of yoga. The material in this workshop is suitable for curious yoga
practitioners, as well as aspiring and current yoga teachers.
2 CEU's
are available for yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance. This
workshop includes lecture/presentation, as well as personal reflection
and discussion. We will not be practicing any asana. The recording will
be available for one month to all registrants.
Tara Lemerise
Tara Lemerise teaches the time-honored philosophy and practice of yoga
in an accessible and joyful way. Registered with Yoga Alliance at
E-RYT-200/E-RYT-500, Tara has been teaching yoga philosophy, movement,
and meditation since 2005. She has over 9,000 hours of teaching
experience.
According to Tara, there is nothing to “fix” with yoga.
Instead, there are only more opportunities to understand and be more
fully present to our separate and together experiences. She is known for
offering clear and helpful instruction to students at all levels and
makes the wisdom of yoga feel relevant and relatable.
Tara’s classes
include action-based instructions in asana that are a result of study of
anatomy, kinesiology and creative movement. In addition, Tara provides
plenty of opportunities for stillness and contemplation in her classes,
which are deeply influenced by her study and practice of Restorative
Yoga.
