What to expect

You’ll learn how to:

The training includes a one-on-one coaching session with Liz to help you clarify your path, move through blocks, and step forward with more trust in yourself.

Style/Lineage

Greenville Yoga is a sanctuary that allows open-hearted seekers (even those who struggle with physical aches / pains, isolation, anxiety, and fear) to slow down, be seen and find belonging in themselves and in community. Through the gift of community and inspiration of our teacher-leaders, our classes will regulate your nervous system so you can connect with that still, quiet space within. This connection allows us to collectively wake up and dream a new way to be in the world: one kind human at a time.

Evaluation methods

Program evaluations

There will be time each gathering to practice teach using demonstration, cuing and hands-on assists. Clear, direct feedback from Liz and classmates will be given in real time based on specific themes- volume, pacing, clarity of instruction. Written sequences will be created and utilized for practice teaching in the "real world" over two months. Student feedback and self-reflections will be turned in at class end.
