CircusYoga Immersion Level 1

June, 2011

CircusYoga: Immersion

CircusYoga combines the consciousness of yoga with the communal ceremony of circus for a deeply transformative experience. In CircusYoga, we foster a spirit of play and provide a level playing field for people of all ages and abilities. CircusYoga strengthens self-confidence, focus, trust, expression, and teamwork. Developed out of our 25 years of teaching families and kids, CircusYoga celebrates the whole community, the whole family, the whole person.

CircusYoga is for: parents, yoga instructors, classroom teachers, circus educators, social workers, family counselors, occupational therapists, group facilitators, recreation directors, camp counselors, and any yoga practitioner who wants to expand their practice. We recommend that applicants have at least one year of yoga practice; however, no circus experience is necessary.

In CY Immersion we will explore accessible practices and techniques that support collaborative learning:

~ Creation of an environment where every student is seen and celebrated
~ Group dynamics in Hatha yoga and collaborative story creation
~ Kinesthetic communication through partner acrobatics and partner yoga
~ Integration across the mid-line with juggling and balancing
~ The spirit of play in clowning and physical comedy
~ Balance on a tightwire and in asanas
~ Nurturance in Thai massage
~ Self-expression through creative movement and dance
~ Cultivation of your authentic teaching voice
