YOGA BASICS (English version)

Description

GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START IN YOGA : this is one of the philosophy’s core principles.

Yet YOGA is so vast and profound that choosing which fundamentals to pass on can be difficult. What should be prioritized in this course ?

We must not lose sight of the fact that the people coming to us are learners ; as such, they need to understand *why* they are breathing a certain way or moving a specific part of their body in a particular manner. That is what fosters the desire to practice, to keep going, and to progress.

If the course lacks depth or exploration, students will lose interest and ultimately won’t return. If the course is merely a demonstration of poses, it becomes a session where students simply mimic the teacher—which is pointless.

I wrote this first e-book by putting myself back in the shoes of the student I was when I underwent my own training with an Indian teacher. What was I looking for ? To be guided by a kind and—above all—authentic teacher. What do I pass on today ? Authenticity : no striving for performance, no competition. It is about acknowledging the human being standing before you—with their struggles, doubts, and limiting beliefs—while recognizing that there is a reason they are there today.

This « ready-to-use » course— YOGA BASICS —aims to help every YOGA teacher establish a foundation for their teaching and feel guided and supported in their instruction and desire to share.

And of course, nothing in YOGA is ever set in stone ;  everyone is free to adapt this course based on specific needs, the time of day, the seasons, and so on.

Happy reading and happy teaching.
