8 Reasons to Join for the Full Weekend of Therapeutics and Anatomy with Martin Kirk

1. Learn therapeutic alignment techniques that will forever change your yoga teaching or bodywork practice, not to mention how you think of your own body.
2. Practice at the spacious and beautiful YogaKula studio, located conveniently in the heart of North Berkeley.

3. Delve into an exploration of the human body with a former rocket scientist! Martin brings both exquisite science and a deep reverence for grace (both cultivated during his time working with NASA) to his teaching of anatomy.

4. We’re located in the Gourmet Ghetto – excellent food abounds for your lunchtime choices.

5. Set a powerful intention for your life and teaching.

6. It’s a great deal. If you sign up for the full weekend in advance, the public classes are included for free.

7. Learn how therapeutics is a natural extension of principles of yoga alignment. At the workshops, you’ll get to feel them in your own body with a vigorous morning asana practice AND learn how to use them with students and clients.

8. Begin lifelong friendships with fellow yogis as you study and practice together in a community setting.

This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us “see the big picture.”

During this 1-day workshop, Jess will guide you on an empowering journey to discover, define, and promote the essence of who YOU are as a teacher. With her yogic approach to branding, you’ll learn ways to tap into a fuller sense of your purpose and vision for the benefit of your students and community.

The work begins when you sign up–you’ll receive questions to contemplate before the workshop (not mandatory). Each session includes discussion, journal exercises, and partner work.

These discoveries are the essential foundations to enhance your career and genuinely attract students even if you’re new to teaching.

PART 2 – EXTERIOR IDENTITY Jess will explore ways to bring definition and representation of your offering and mission through brand identity and marketing. She’ll offer guidelines to writing your authentic bio, and ways for you to promote and expand your message, voice, and vision within your community.

“Jess’s capacity to help yoga teachers authentically unveil their untapped resources and assets is refreshing. Rather than being salesy or pushy and asking you to emulate that, Jess helps you allow the beauty and wisdom of your teaching to sell itself.
