Advanced Studies : Asana
Many yoga teachers walk away from their first training with all of the gumption and excitement to teach yet feel completely unclear on what is taking place in the body when teaching specific poses. Though it is not entirely necessary to know which muscles are doing what within a pose, imagine the creativity and safety with which you can create sequences, cues, and intents for your classes when you know in depth knowledge of yoga postures!
This class is for you if you are a yoga teacher that:
-
Is looking for deeper understanding of biomechanics, modifications, and key actions of yoga poses
-
Wants a deeper dive into the chakras and how they can impact practice and daily life
-

Adriana Lee
500 E-RYT, 200 E-RYT, YACEP
Adriana Lee is a Las Vegas born yoga teacher and yoga teacher trainer. She is all about self discovery and empowerment through yoga. She teaches her students how to breathe, how to feel, & how to get reacquainted with their bodies. As a teacher, she breaks down big concepts & complicated poses into bite sized pieces to make them more accessible. Her teaching is based in anatomy & biomechanics. Students leave the class feeling refreshed, connected to their bodies, & empowered.
​
She says, “My yoga journey began when I was too young to understand the importance of what I was learning - I thought it was just exercise. But it made an imprint on me. Later, yoga helped me to heal past traumas, body dysmorphia, & more. It became my safe haven. I learned to be strong, resilient, & most importantly I learned how to navigate my emotions rather than numb them. That’s what made me want to teach. I wanted to teach people to heal their own minds and bodies.“ Her intention is to share what she has learned about the magic of movement & the bliss of being.
