Overview
Join Adrian McCavitt for this 20hr CEU designed for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of core work, calisthenics training and movement longevity. This weekend workshop-style training will enhance both your personal practice and teaching skills. We will focus on integrating this knowledge into your teaching as we dive into anatomy and how the body moves for functionality and a safe and effective movement practice.
Special attention will be given to core engagement techniques, providing participants with a deeper understanding of how to cultivate strength and stability from the inside out. Participants will learn progressive exercises and drills aimed at developing core strength, balance and proprioception.
In addition to core work, the course will offer insights into bodyweight exercises that build functional strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Participants will learn how to incorporate calisthenics principles into their yoga classes, creating dynamic and challenging sequences that inspire students to explore their physical potential.
A highlight of the course is the comprehensive exploration of handstands. Participants will receive step-by-step guidance on how to safely and effectively practice handstands, with an emphasis on alignment, technique and injury prevention. Through targeted drills and progressions, you will develop the strength, mobility and confidence to safely train for handstands.
Finally, the course will address the importance of movement longevity, offering practical strategies for maintaining a sustainable yoga practice over the long term. We will cover how to prevent injuries, manage common ailments, and cultivate mindfulness in movement.
This class is intended to be something of a movement 401(k) investing in a practice that crafts a lifetime of health and vitality on and off the mat.
Whether you're a seasoned yoga teacher or new to the practice, this course offers a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge, expand your skillset, and inspire transformative change in your teaching and personal practice. Join us as we explore core work, calisthenics training, yoga and movement longevity.
