  • Rollen som yogalærer – Psykologien bag din undervisning (50 timers efteruddannelse i 2019)

    Rollen som yogalærer – Psykologien bag din undervisning (50 timers efteruddannelse i 2019)

    En efteruddannelse for dig der allerede underviser i yoga og ønsker støtte til din videre udvikling. Livet som yogalærer kan ofte være en hårfin balance mellem at lyse op og brænde ud, at føle sig forbundet og føle sig ensom, at være spirituelt dedikeret og at arbejde i en kommerciel verden. Denne uddannelse giver dig støtte og netværk til at navigere i de psykiske og sociale modsætninger der præger mange yogalæreres arbejde. Du får vigtig information om psykologien bag din rolle som yogalærer samt de gruppedynamikker og magtdynamikker der har præget yogaverdenen gennem tiderne og nogen gange spænder ben for os. Vi kigger grundigt på lærer/elev forholdet og hvordan det udspiller sig i din egen relation til dem du underviser og dem der har undervist dig. En typisk dag foregår som en vekselvirkning mellem 1) oplæg fra Birgitte hvor du får viden om yogaens psykologi og historie 2) gruppeprocesser hvor vi bruger Big Mind metoden til at undersøge indre ressourcer og drivkræfter samt 3) korte yogaklasser og meditationer hvor vi integrerer det vi har arbejdet med.

    Uddannelsen giver dig værktøjer til at navigere med integritet fra dit eget indre kompas, snarere end at få en ekspertudlægning af, hvordan man bør opføre sig som yogalærer. En unik mulighed for slå rødder i din personlige integritet, styrke dine egne ressourcer og blive en endnu bedre yogalærer!

    Vi arbejder psykologisk procesorienteret gennem hele uddannelsen hvor vi undersøger følgende temaer:

    Psykologien bag Yogalærer/elevforholdet

    Psykiske og sociale dynamikker i yogalokalet

    Udbrændthed, at rumme eleven samt at sætte sunde grænser i dit arbejdsliv

    Magt, hierarki og kultlogik: Psykologien bag yogaens skyggesider

    Dine egne skyggesider som skjulte ressourcer

    Integritet og navigation på den spirituelle markedsplads

    Psykologiske gruppedynamikker i din undervisning

    Ensomhed, arbejdsliv og opdyrkningen af nye yogafællesskaber.

    Et typisk dag vil byde på teoretiske oplæg fra Birgitte, processkonsultation af gruppen, Big Mind facilitering, samt korte yogaklasser der giver eksempler på, hvordan du i praksis kan bruge de teorier vi gennemgår på uddannelsen.

    Datoer i 2019:

    Modul 1:  18-20. Januar (fredag 15-19, lørdag 9-15.50 søndag 9-14.30)

    Modul 2: 22.-24. Februar (fredag 15-19, lørdag og søndag 9-15.30)

    Modul 3: 22-24 Marts (fredag 15-19, lørdag og søndag 9-15.30)

    Om underviseren:

    Birgitte har undervist i yoga igennem 15 år og praktiseret i mere end 20 år. Hun er uddannet psykolog fra Københavns universitet, PhD i ledelse fra CBS, processkonsulent fra Attractor og har siden 2013 være tilknyttet uddannelsen i Big Mind facilitation som elev hos Genpo Roshi. Birgitts har flere yogauddannelser i bagagen og var frem til 2015 en af de få internationale seniorlærer i Dynamic Yoga uddannet af Godfrey Devereux. Med hendes store ererfaring som underviser yogalæreruddannelse, yogacentre og i universitetsverdenen bygger hun bro mellem teori og praksis og formidler kompetent, klart og let forståeligt. Hun har gennem hele sin karriere som yogalærer været i frontlinjen for eksperimentelle og nytænkende tilgange til yoga og har været med til at bane vejen for en ny generation af yogalærere der tør lidt mere.

    Booking og betingelser

    Når du er optaget, kan du forhåndsreservere din plads ved at indbetale et ikke-refunderbart depositum på 30% af prisen (2.550kr.). Det resterende beløb betales senest tre måneder før kursusstart og refunderes ikke ved afbud fra kursusdeltageren hvis dette sker efter den 16. november. Der er dog mulighed for, efter aftale med Birgitte, at sælge sin plads til en anden kvalificeret yogalærer eller udbyde den til eventuelle personer på venteliste hvis man får andre planer i perioden op til uddannelsen. Under særligt alvorlige omstændigheder (som f.eks. pludselig opstået livstruende sygdom, dødsfald i nærmeste familie eller anden force majeure) kan der forhandles om at overføre beløbet fra den samlede uddannelse til andre events eller senere uddannelser. Der henstilles til, at man respekterer den proces gruppen gennemgår sammen og prioriterer at være til stede alle dage. Fravær på uddannelsen må ikke overstige 3 timer.

    Det fulde beløb refunderes naturligvis hvis Birgitte skulle vælge at aflyse uddannelsen. Ved sygdom eller aflysning af enkelte dage fra Birgitte side vil der blive tilbudt erstatningstimer på en senere dato for det samlede hold. Der afholdes ikke eksamen på denne uddannelse da fokus ligger på selverkendelse og procesarbejde frem for overførsel af viden eller teknikker. Der udstedes kursusbevis efter uddannelsen er afsluttet, såfremt deltageren har været til stede i det nødvendige antal timer og har lavet hjemmeopgsverne mellem hvert modul.

  • 50 hour yoga teacher training: The role of the yoga teacher (Copenhagen)

    50 hour yoga teacher training: The role of the yoga teacher (Copenhagen)

    Life as a yoga teacher is a welcome to paradox: Our glowing passion for yoga can burn us out, our connection with students can leave us feeling lonely and isolated, our spiritual call to unity takes place within a highly divided and competitive market space and our skills in empowering our students can become a power-trip in itself.

    This 50-hour course is for the trained yoga teacher who want to inquire deeper into psychological and social dynamics around their work. We will explore the psychology behind your role as a yoga teacher as well as the power dynamics entailed in taking on this role. Our focus is the teacher/student relationship and how it plays out in your own relationship to the people you teach and train with. A typical day involves:

    1) A talk addressing psychological and historical aspects affecting modern yoga communities

    2) A group enquiry using the Big Mind process to access the drives, resources and shadows that can support you in becoming more helpful to your students

    3) Short yoga posture practices, meditations or group exercises integrating, digesting and operationalizing what we learned during the day.

    The training gives you tools to navigate with integrity from your own inner compass rather than receiving an expert guideline for how you should act as a teacher. The training is mainly process-work meaning we will be working with your lived experience with taking on the role of the yoga teacher and discuss the dynamics that you are currently puzzled by or need support to navigate. Our group enquiry will address the following themes:

    -The teacher/student relationship as it plays out in your life

    -Healthy boundaries at work

    -Power, hierarchy and cult-logic: The psychology of shadows in yoga

    -Your own shadows and what they can teach you

    -Navigating competition and the spiritual marketplace.

    -Group dynamics in your teaching.

    -Loneliness, working life and creating networks of peer support.

     

    This training is limited to 10 people.

  • Teaching from unity (For yoga teachers)

    Teaching from unity (For yoga teachers)

    Our commonsense understanding of the words “yoga” and “meditation” suggest that they are two separate things: One of the body and one of the mind. But as we go deeper into the practice either one, we find a deeper unity at their core.

    A weekend workshop with special sessions for  yoga teachers. You will need to attend the whole weekend workshop “Asana as meditation – Meditaiton as asana”  in order to join the extra sessions for teachers. This is to ensure that you have an embodied understanding of the techniques we will be working with in the last session on sunday.

    Saturday 9.00-9.40: Welcome and introductions (open to yoga teachers). What will be todays main teaching techniques? How to listen when you are a teacher/student attending a workshop.

    Saturday 10.00-13.00: Asana as Meditation (open to all)
    A dynamic yoga class exploring sensitive movement as  meditation in action.

    Saturday 14.30-17.30: Meditation as Asana (open to all)
    Alternations between seated meditation periods and supine yoga posture flows releasing tension.

    Saturday 9.00-9.40: Being breathed (open to yoga teachers)

    A few words abut todays main teaching technique (svaramukta). Q&A from yesterdays workshop from a teaching perspective.

    Sunday 10.00-13.00: Breathing into stilness (open to all)
    A dynamic, sensitive yoga posture flow releasing the free rythm of the breath (svaramukta). The class makes a seamless transiton to a seated meditation practice towards the end.

    Sunday 14.00-17.00: Teaching skills (open to yoga teachers) Inspirational workshop on how to teach asana as meditation. Alternating between dialogue and little practical explorations we break down the progressive instructions used in the previous workshop. Birgitte will guide collective explorations of two simple techniques to play with in your own practice and share with your students.

    Open to trained and trainee yoga teachers from all branches of the yoga family tree.

    Price for full course: 1.399 DKR
