Whether you are already teaching 1-2-1s or would like to start offering 1-2-1s to your students, this workshop will support you in taking your teaching to the next level. This CPD workshop will cover essential tools for working with individuals therapeutically, tailoring practices to meet their needs, and connecting the physical with mental and emotional layers.

From understanding the potential of working 1-2-1with your students to finding outcomes that meet the needs of the individual, you will gain skills in uncovering the essence of the "presenting issue", practice co-creating and collaborating with your students in a trauma-sensitive way, and gain confidence and sensitivity when working with individual bodies.

Learn to understand your students unique needs, read between the lines and encourage them to actively engage in their own healing process and well being. After all, they know their body best.

We will engage in Embodied Practice, Pranayama, Mindfulness, Meditation, Discussion, Q&A, Demonstration. Please bring a notebook or journal.

About the Tutor

Judy is an experienced yoga teacher & therapist, director & founder of Yoga United Education. 

Judy works 1-2-1 with clients online and in person for yoga therapy, life and business mentoring. She trains yoga therapists in a sensitive, soulful and practical approach to yoga therapy. She takes yoga classes, meditation courses, embodied mindfulness, restorative yoga and yoga therapy into health spas, offices, schools, mental health & fertility settings. She runs CPD days, modules, courses, professional training and soulful retreats in UK and India.

She brings a creative mix of yoga-based practices to educate health seekers of all ages, sizes and abilities to tune into their own head space and inner wisdom.

By identifying the physical body as an entry point to deeper understanding of Self, it is possible to unlock the bodies’ natural intelligence to open up a non-judgmental space for stress, grief, emotional & mental turmoil, as well as tapping into creativity, clarity and truth.

Judy says ‘Yoga can often be intimidating – if our students leave the yoga mat feeling not good enough, flexible enough, strong enough, or perfect enough, where is the spirit of yoga, and how are we doing as teachers and therapists?’
