Art Of Teaching Classes

Welcome to ‘The Art of Teaching’ Continuity Classes with Lisa Petersen

From August to November 2021, Karla Brodie, Neal Ghoshal, Adelene Cheong and I will be presenting classes to support Donna Farhi’s Art of Teaching programme.

I am honoured to be asked to support you in your teaching journey, and heartily encourage you to explore practicing with my fellow teachers. This is a beautiful opportunity to experience the art of teaching through 4 distinct embodied voices and expressions.
Donna has been my teacher, mentor, colleague and friend for over twenty years. When I first heard her teach every cell in my body lit up in recognition of her presence and utter dedication to this wonderful practice we call yoga. As well as co-teaching two of her Teacher Trainings and other workshops, I spent over 3,000 hours assisting her since 2005.

My intention is that these classes invite you into the joy and wonder of having a moving, breathing body.

They explore the intersection of Yoga with experiential anatomy, somatics, developmental movement and embodiment. They are practical and experiential in nature while offering an artful, scientific, and spiritual approach. Each class is an opportunity to explore your breath, posture, and movement habits. We will cultivate a sense of presence and Yoga as a moving meditation. They will build directly on your learning during the AOT.

My Offering will include: 

 Explore how to seamlessly incorporate somatic exercises into a Yoga practice.
 Discover how an embodied approach can make the challenging poses easier.
 Try out new creative sequences for your Yoga practice and teaching.
 Explore how to ride the wave of the breath and the oscillation of the breath as a whole
body experience.
 Unpack developmental movement patterns. Practice identifying old patterns (in your
physical, mental and emotional bodies) and establishing and entraining new patterns.
 Investigate your unique embodied anatomy and how it can support you in posture and
movement.
 Practice how to create impeccable alignment from the inside out.
 Take a somatic journey towards self-sensing and self-healing.
 Move towards strength, balance and flexibility and away from injury.
 Develop your sixth sense and your body intelligence.
 Cultivate ease and relaxation within strength and integrity.
 Cultivate what I call the three Super Powers: curiosity, exploration and self-inquiry.
 Experience for yourself the innate wisdom of your body-mind-spirit.

Happy practice!
