What is Extensions?
Extensions is a mentor program targeted at developing the teaching foundation created during teacher training, and growing into a fuller, richer, creative expression.
Extensions is a way keep on the track of being a dedicated student so I can teach from a place of authentic experience and connection. It means figuring out what I need to work on as a yogi and instructor in order to deliver a class that is true to where I'm at as a teacher and what I want to get across.
The program lasts seven weeks long. During the first three weeks, we meet with everyone in the program to go more in depth into assists, theme, music, voice, and intelligence of the sequence. During the next four weeks, we are put into a small groups of four or five with a mentor. During the last month of the program, we take we've learned and apply it in a real life setting. We are required to go to beginner's classes to assist. During the small groups weekly meetings, one person will teach a full class in a CPY studio to the group utilizing music, assists, theme, and voice. The mentor will observe the class and provide written feedback.
What am I thinking?
I am not sure if I am in the right place for Extensions. My dot-com job has been unstable. Spending money on additional yoga training doesn't seem like a financially responsible idea.
Well, it's either going to cost now, or it's going to cost later. I have the time before ski/snowboarding season, and I have the energy to commit. What am I waiting for?
