December 7, 2017 by Guest Author 14 Comments

Mark Whitwell Yoga Teacher Training

Editor's Note: Since this article was published, several accounts of sexual harassment and assault have been made public by Mark Whitwell's female students. We do not in any way condone Mark's behaviour. You can read more about the accounts here. by Rosalind Atkinson, “If you want to teach people, you have to love them,” said the tall figure seated near me on the floor. Shit, I thought.

9 Questions To Ask Before You Host a Travelling Yoga Teacher

August 4, 2017 by Kara-Leah Grant 1 Comment

by Kara-Leah Grant Hosting a travelling yoga teacher can be a successful and profitable venture for a yoga studio - if done right! It can use up "dead time" in the studio. It opens up an additional income stream. It can bring in students that don't usually come to the studio, some of whom may come back. It can increase the exposure and awareness of the host studio in the marketplace. It can educate and inspire the studio's student base. And it can be the beginning of an … [Read more...]

The Inside Story on Jayayoga Teacher Training

April 6, 2017 by Lucinda Staniland 1 Comment

by Lucinda Staniland I already knew that Jennifer Allen, and the Jayayoga Teacher Training she leads, were awesome. But I didn't quite realise how awesome. The Yoga Lunchbox has interviewed Jennifer before, so I was aware that she is an unusually perceptive and gutsy teacher, with a teaching methodology that offers a different perspective on yoga from much of the contemporary yoga scene. Yes, Jennifer teaches straight from the heart with a focus on alignment and safety. It's not flashy … [Read more...]

March 9, 2017 by Lucinda Staniland Leave a Comment

by Kara-Leah Grant Yoga Nidra has long been an important and regular part of my yoga practice. I found it invaluable when I had a newborn baby, as a way to rest and restore in less than twenty minutes. And, even more interesting, after doing it consistently for over a decade, I'm starting to reap some of the more esoteric benefits of the practice that Swami Karma Karuna describes below. For these reasons, I'm delighted to see that Anahata Yoga Retreat is holding a Yoga Nidra Instructor … [Read more...]

Jase Te Patu on Embracing Vulnerability & Power Living’s 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training

March 3, 2017 by Guest Author 2 Comments

by Kara-Leah Grant I adore Jase Te Patu - he's a man with so much heart, and so in love with New Zealand and his Māori culture. Plus he's passionate about yoga - both the practice and the teaching of it. When he and I sat down to have a chat about Power Living's Yoga Teacher Training here in New Zealand, it was immediately apparent how Jase has grown since we last spoke two years ago.
