    Aqua Kriya Yoga Training

    8:00 amSafety Harbor Resort & Spa - 105 N Bayshore Dr, Safety Harbor FL 34695

    This is a regional training opportunity with Camella Nair, aka Swami Nibhrtananda ATRIC C-IAYT, at the beautiful, historic Safety Harbor Spa & Resort.
    By taking yoga into the water, we make it accessible to people who may otherwise never try, and therefore never enjoy the many benefits that yoga can bring. With the aging population in particular, yoga in the water is supportive of the lower joints, helps reduce swelling, and encourages increased ROM. The water actually becomes a variable weight machine that can ramp up ones practice for general fitness, or become a compassionate environment for people who are new to yoga, rehabilitating from injury, or delaying surgery. Don't expect a course that merely translates asanas from land to water. This training explores the reasons why and how yoga poses done in the comfort, stability and support of water can make people's lives more rewarding.

    Understanding the Basic Alignment in Yoga

    12:30 pmWendy Fit Yoga and Pilates Studio 3438 East Lake Road Suite 19 Palm Harbor Fl 34685

    Yes, yoga poses must be taught and performed in a way that eliminates the risk for injury. And, yes, the poses should be visually recognizable.
    Asana (the physical exercises most folks simply call yoga these days) is not the goal of yoga, it is simply a tool. According to Patanjali, as described in the Yoga Sutras, the only alignment necessary is to be comfortable, steady, and relaxed in asana.

    All people have a unique anatomy. No two bodies are the same, we all have different strengths and weaknesses, and our joint structures can vary greatly. So why do we have styles of yoga that have a one-size-fits-all approach to alignment?

    Join Wanda for an amazing workshop on the Basic Alignment of the Body beginning at 12:30 pm.

    YogaFit for Warrior Kids (Childhood Trauma) Teacher Training

    8 am - 6 pmSeriously FUN Fitness, 5316 Seminole Blvd, St Petersburg, FL 33708

    With a focus on “developmental trauma disorder,” a new and vastly expanded tool for understanding early childhood trauma, this special therapeutically oriented workshop centers on the unique way a child’s nervous system and brain respond to traumatic events, including chronic emotional and physical abuse and neglect. We will address somatic gaps in current therapies available and the challenges inherent in treating children suffering from PTSD.

    - How early childhood trauma dramatically affects brain function and neurological development and impacts a child’s ability to learn, manage stress, and develop relationships later in life
    - How too much or too little sensory input damages the wiring of a child’s nervous system and brain development and can cause myriad childhood and teenage problems, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and addictions
    - How to create a trauma-­sensitive yoga program that is safe and effective for a variety of age groups—from newborns and toddlers to pre­teens and adolescents
    - The importance of engaging the senses in any yoga program specifically designed to help heal childhood trauma
    - How to incorporate visualization, storytelling and imagery, grounding and centering exercises, as well as breathing and specific yoga poses for each age group
