• How do we adapt our teaching to incorporate these individuals?
• Should we be allowing them in our group classes?
• How can we be confident that we are doing no harm?
• we will be exploring this subject in more detail.
This one-day workshop will explore in detail how we can navigate this complex area of teaching with an emphasis on helping our students to FREE THEIR INNER TEACHER and giving us a solid foundation in embodied anatomy exploration to guide us through our teaching adaptations.
The workshop is run by Aimee Newton, registered Osteopath and Yoga Teacher and Educator with over 16 years experience.
