IAYT SYTAR 2021 Plenary: Collaboration + Co-creation = Connection
June 17, 2021 @ 8:00 am - June 20, 2021 @ 5:00 pm MST
SYTAR IS ON (VIRTUALLY) June 17-20, 2021, and Amy will be giving a Plenary talk.
Collaboration + Co-Creation = Connection
In the specialized field of yoga therapy, we sometimes feel we need to know it all. Can we instead relax into the knowledge that we don’t have to know it all, and that we are connected to our colleagues in ways that can support and sustain us? When we attune with students and clients, we are collaborating with them as they learn to become the experts on their own mind-body’s needs. We will talk about the skills of attunement, collaboration, and co-creation and practice ways to develop those abilities. Throughout this session, we will nourish our bodies and calm our minds with self-care practices that can also be used with the precious beings we serve. Includes an experiential component.
