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 lack enthusiasm for what you usually enjoy? Are you having a hard time connecting with people? Do you turn over future events in your head at night? Or have you been 'All work No Play' for the past few months (or years;))? Join José de Groot to learn some tips, Yin poses and acupressure points to regulate your Fire energy before the heat of Summer kicks in. Summer is ruled by the Fire energy, which is linked to the Heart, Small intestine, Pericardium and Triple Heater meridians. The Heart is said to be home to the Shen - our Soul - and a well-balanced Fire energy is at the root of love and compassion, as well as our ability to share, communicate and follow our own path. In Chinese Medicine, our thoughts and emotions are said to arise in the Heart, so tending to your Fire energy will also help you connect with your truth and cultivate authenticity. In this webinar José de Groot explains how to harmonise your lifestyle, activities and yoga practice with the Fire element, so that you’re ready to enjoy the warmer weather, gatherings with friends and the present moment.

As we move into Spring, the period associated with Wood energy according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, we invite you to learn more about this fascinating subject. The Wood element enters its phase on the first day of Spring, and evokes the expansive moment of birth and growth, of coming alive after the cold and quiet days of Winter. It is a strong and potent energy, capable of breaking through the harsh shell of a seed and pushing its way up through the soil to bask in the sunlight. In Chinese Five Elements theory, 'Wood' is associated with the organs and meridians Liver and Gallbladder. Join José de Groot for a 30 minute talk on this fascinating topic, followed by a Q&A session. She’ll also teach some Yin Yoga poses which target the Liver and Gallbladder meridians to harmonize elemental energies for physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. José specializes in teaching Yin Yoga and anatomy. 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.
