Presenting 2.5 hr. CEU at YogaFest on "Moving from the Inside, Out" to help yoga teachers and yoga practitioners grow through linking a direct experience of
human physiology with teaching and practice tools.
Presentation went very well and was well-received with high student satisfaction. There were 7 students (6 yoga teachers, 1 advanced student). I had some difficulty reworking the existing content to include reference to precepts and include evidence-based practice from Ginger's text but found that the student's were happy to understand these neurophysiological concepts in a personal way rather than trying to memorize and recite anatomical terms. I spoke a great deal from my experience and used the attached slides as reference to keep me on track with objectives.
