Mentor Immersion Program
Report
The certification process was an enjoyable experience with Colleen guiding me as my mentor. She is patient and uses a step by step method to gradually prepare me. As I was studying with her, I was observing her passion for teaching ensuring the safety of the students and always finding solutions for every injury, struggle and stiffness.
Seniors
Report
As a long time yoga instructor in Delray Beach I have met seniors who have trouble standing and then seniors that can easily kick up in to a handstand. There is this 89 year old woman who attends class with little effort slides right into humamanasana (the splits)! She's what I like to call a Level 4 student.
Asana
Report
Padmasana translates "that which is born out of the mud". The pose is done with our feet on top of our legs, like a lotus - strong and firmly rooted down under the water. In this pose, energy ascends, opening mind and heart to reveal cosmic beauty. Thus, like a lotus, from our root, we reach upward to blossom in the sunlight.
