 Flying Yogis 200 Hour Teacher Training

let your spirit shine with yoga, healing arts, and acrobatics

Bring your practice to the next level and learn to share your love of lunar and solar partner- and Acro Yoga practices in an authentic, safe and heart-centered way. Experienced AcroYoga teachers Winfried and Sophia Ruhs will guide you on this beautiful journey, exploring yoga, healing arts such as Thai massage and partner acrobatics.

Three pillars of the practice: * connect with the wisdom of yoga, pure presence and the miracle of the breath * explore and deepen your healing capacities through massage and other healing arts * empower through mindful, strengthening and playful acrobatics and let your inner child shine

Finding the teacher within The teaching path is a beautiful way to deepen your own understanding, hone your skills, and grow in your capacity to hold space for others. For those of you with a deep love and enthusiasm for Acro Yoga, teaching this beautiful practice may be the natural next step. The Flying Yogis 200 Hour Teacher Training, created by experienced AcroYogis Sophia and Winfried Ruhs provides a unique opportunity to learn the art of teaching Acro Yoga in an authentic, heart-centered, safe and playful way. We will delve deep into the practice, refining our own embodiment, taking our practice to the next level and finding our own voice and strengths as a teacher. By exploring where our true passions lie, and what the practice means to us, we allow the inner teacher to shine. A large focus of the training will be allowing our personal gifts to unfold and find our unique way in how we would like to share the greatest gift – which is ourselves – with the world, through this beautiful practice of Acro Yoga. This teacher training will also supply you with a treasure chest of tools and knowledge as well as cultivating solid skills so that you are able to share both lunar and solar aspects of the practice in a safe and joyous way and create community wherever you go! We will learn how to lead classes either alone or with a co-teacher and gather inspiration for creating longer events such as workshops or retreats. Taking the torch of a teacher means igniting your own potential and is a powerful means to deepen your own understanding of the practice.

Joyous embodiment To share the practice of Acro Yoga, you do not need to be a super yogi, professional acrobat, or Thai massage master. What is required moreover is the humbleness for studentship, the dedication to refine your own embodiment, and the ability to create a safe space for your students. We will spend lots of time every day practicing basic skills as well as taking our own practice to the next level. A deep understanding of the practice is needed in order to share your skills with integrity. This means we will be doing lots of yoga asana, massage, inversions practice, basing and ofcourse flying, flying, flying to new heights! We will cover lots of theory and bring the theory into practice, becoming stronger every day.

Creating space for growth on all levels While we do promise that you will learn new ”washing machines”, massage flows and excercises for making your handstands ”tighter” and stronger, our foremost focus will be on the role of the teacher. In sanskrit there are two words to describe a teacher – Guru and mittra. Let’s start with the word Guru. While in the Western world, Guru has come to have some negative associations, the original meaning is ”that which leads from darkness to light”. We could also translate this as from ignorance to understanding or from the false to the true. Often the word Guru is used to describe a teacher. Mittra means a friend, or a guide. The practice of Acro Yoga can catalyze growth on many levels: what we see on the surface is the physical growth which comes from refining our embodiment and expanding our range of movement, however on the mental and emotional levels there can be a lot happeining to. The loving touch of Thai massage and other therapeutic elements may create space for emotional release while partner work in general provides a wealth of opportunity for honing our communication skills. Doing higher level acrobatics or really anything which is new may mean exploring our own boundaries. This type of exploration can also cause things to come up, emotions and feelings to appear. Many things may come up so it is important as a teacher to be able to hold space for growth on all levels through deepening your ability to listen, withhold jugement, be present and compassionate. And also to create an atmosphere where every student feels accepted and celebrated for who he or she is without expectation for performance. When shadow aspects of the self surface it’s important to allow this to happen and use it as a catalyst for deeper learning. We would like to impart tools for adressing the many emotional aspects that may arise through the practice, in this way being a teacher, friend and guide. It’s important to remember that the role of the teacher is not to fill our students with information, but rather to help them navigate the inner unfolding of their inate potential. In the words of Albert Einstein:

”A student is not a container you have to fill, but a torch you have to light up”

Theory and principles of teaching On a practical level we will discuss theory, philosophy and principles of teaching Acro Yoga, such a layering classes, theming classes, teaching to different levels or population groups, just to name a few. Creating bridges between the practices of yoga, healing arts and acrobatics and learning how to seamlessly weave different elements together to create a whole and unique experience for the students. An emphasis will also be on how to use our creativity to make each class fun, unique and giving students just what they need.

Healing arts * 30 hours of massage practice (20 hours from Thai massage), this can me a mix as a giver and as a receiver. Even better is if you’ve completed a 10-day Thai massage beginner’s course. Confident giving a complete Massage session (ideally Thai massage) 60 minutes or longer Confident giving a 5 minute ”flying massage” session to someone same-size or smaller without needing a spotter

Acro Yoga * 50 hours teacher-lead Acro Yoga classes, and the same amount outside of class (for example at jams in the park). * It’s a bonus if you have personally studied with Sophia or Winfried Ruhs before

General * Teaching experience is helpful, whether you are a yoga teacher or teacher of another movement form (such as Massage, Acrobatics, dance or martial arts) * Comfortable talking in front of groups… but if you’re still shy, don’t worry about it, we’ll polish that * Minimum 18 years of age… no limit to the top!

5-Tages “Dynamic“ Thaimassage Kurs

18. – 22. Oktober 2017 im Maitri Yoga Chiemsee

Thaimassage Kurs am Chiemsee mit Zoltan Gyorgyovics, Assitenz Winfried & Sophia Ruhs

Anmeldung und Preise hier: http://maitri-yoga-chiemsee.de/project/18-22-oktober-2017-dynamic-thaimassage-fortbildung-mit-zoltan-gyorgyovics/

Dynamic Thaimassage, auch als “Der Heilige Tanz“ bekannt, ist eine komplexe jedoch wunderschöne Form der Thaimassage die uns eine neue Welt an Möglichkeiten den Körper zu verstehen und mit ihm zu arbeiten, eröffnet. Dieser Kurs ist für Schüler geeignet die bereits einen Thaimassage Kurs für Anfänger absolviert haben und ihre Kenntnisse über dynamische Techniken erweitern und vertiefen möchten. Fokus des Trainings werden Techniken in der seitlichen und sitzenden Position sein.

Etwas über die dynamische Thaimassage: Chaiyuth Priyasith von Chiang Mai († 2004) ist der Vater dieser dynamischen Heilkunst. Seine Techniken wurden über die Jahre weiterentwickelt um sie westlichen Schülern zugänglicher zu machen. Dynamisches arbeiten in der Thai Tradition ist sehr intuitiv und fast schamanisch. Es braucht sehr viel Feingefühl und Intuition um Blockaden auf der physischen, energetischen, emotionalen und spirituellen Ebenen zu lösen. In den letzten Jahren bekam diese dynamische Tradition viele Einflüsse aus der Osteopathie hinzu. Diese neue Form ermöglicht dem Geber sich mühelos und spielerisch zu bewegen, während er Spannungen und Blockaden durch rhythmisches Schaukeln und Kreisbewegungen löst und die Bewegungsfreiheit wieder herstellt. Diese Mischung der westlichen und östlichen Herangehensweisen macht die uralte Heilkunst der Thaimassage zugleich bunter und einfacher anzuwenden. In diesem Kurs legen wir unseren Fokus auf unsere Haltung, Berührung und Präsenz, sowohl während wir in Bewegung sind, als auch in der Stille. Wir lernen Techniken von Kopf bis Fuß in Rücken-, Bauch- und Seitenlage & sitzenden Positionen. Dynamische und statische Techniken werden im Wechsel so eingesetzt, dass die bestmöglichen Wirkungen für den Empfänger erzielt werden. Meditation und Yoga geben uns einen wunderbaren Start in den Tag. Der Kurs wird auf englisch unterrichtet.
