Would you like to teach your students how to listen to their own bodies and learn cues to encourage them to experiment with pose variations so that they can find what works for them? As yoga teachers, our job is not just to guide our students through a well-rounded practice. It's also to encourage them to get in touch with their own sensations and build a functional and sustainable practice that suits their individual needs. In short - enable them to be their own best teacher. In this webinar, José will share the best cues to invite your students to experiment with different Yin and Yang pose variations, and how to give specific adjustment cues without making your student/s feel that they are ‘doing it wrong’.

Do you find it difficult to lift your arms without lifting your shoulders in Utkatasana? Is 'softening your shoulders' in Anahatasana completely out of the question for you? If so, the answer might not be to practice more ‘evil shoulder openers’ (If you’re an EkhartYoga member, you might be familiar with that class from Julie Martin!) but to better understand the anatomy of your unique (and perfect) shoulder blades. In this webinar José de Groot will dive into the anatomy of the shoulder and explain which variations of some Yin and Yang poses might be more suitable to ensure your practice nourishes and empowers *your* body.

Do you catch yourself overthinking your ideas without ever acting on them? Do you sometimes experience some digestive issues? Or do you struggle meeting, or even identifying, your needs? If so, please join José de Groot's webinar on the topic of Yin Yoga and the Earth Element. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Earth element is linked to the Stomach and Spleen meridians, involved in Chi intake and its distribution. This involves food digestion, but also the processing of life events and corresponding emotions. When not properly digested, food or emotions create a feeling of stagnation that can manifest as circular thoughts or perfectionism. José will dive deeper into this topic and share some tips and Yin Yoga poses to balance this element. This webinar was streamed LIVE on 4 April 2023.

Do you find it challenging to do certain Yin poses that require ‘open’ hips? What do we mean by ‘hip opening’ anyway? In this webinar, you’ll learn that it’s not just tension that restricts your range of movement but compression due to skeletal variations.

Her passion for teaching functional and holistic yoga is fueled by her own continued study and practice in functional anatomy, Yin and Yang yoga, Chinese medicine, philosophy, and psychology.
