Yoga Teacher's Inspiration
Intensive Retreat in Bali
August 3 - 13, 2011
Rachel Hull & Kathryn Riding
This Yoga intensive is an offering of inspiration to existing Yoga teachers, and to more experienced Yoga practitioners who are wishing to gain fresh insights, to enhance their communication skills, to increase confidence and creativity, and to revitalize their practice and/or teaching skills.
This Intensive Retreat will be guided by two very experienced and devoted Yoga teachers - Rachel Hull (E-RYT500) and Kathryn Riding.
What You Can Expect On This Intensive Retreat:
Daily morning asana, pranayama & meditation classes; sequencing skills and ideas; adjustment skill classes - reminders of ways to adjust certain postures and looking at the ways different people adjust postures and why; reviewing prop usage; voice skills; Yoga therapy - looking in more depth at a few conditions such as scoliosis, hernia etc; authentic movement & improvisation classes; ideas and group discussions on how to keep the classes and practice fresh and interesting. Although we will practice asana intensely at times, our approach is to practice and teach well in an inspiring way that honours our differences, rather than going at things in a super intense and extreme way.
We will also provide the opportunity for honest discussion about the situations that can arise as Yoga teachers.
The Teachers:
Rachel Hull is the Director of Shakti Spirit Yoga & Ayurveda, and has led Yoga Teacher Trainings and Workshops in various countries, including Australia, India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Italy, Germany and Ireland. She has been practicing Yoga for 24 years, teaching for 14 years and also studied Ayurveda for two years with an Ayurvedic Dr.
Rachel was on the staff of the Yoga Arts Teacher Trainings as a senior teacher and/or course co-ordinator (asana and pranayama) for many years. She is a passionate student of herbal medicine, and is currently enrolled in the East West Herb Course with Michael Tierra.
Rachel will share her skills in leading asana and pranayama classes, tips on sequencing, alignment and adjustments, Ayurveda as it applies to the Yoga class, as well as ideas on how to keep the inspiration alive.

Kathryn Riding is a much loved yoga teacher who has been practising yoga for more than 30 years. She trained with Eve Grzbowski and Mardi Kendall at the Sydney Yoga Centre where she also taught. The approach was eclectic and very nurturing, with Iyengar influences.
Kathryn also comes from a performing arts background, is a poet and the author of two books. She is a WAAPA graduate, has trained in movement and voice with Pan Theatre in Paris, and taught at NIDA for 6 years. She will be sharing her unique style of yoga, which combines both classical and contemporary wisdom, plus offering authentic movement and vocal exploration classes that will support your communication skills and spontaneity.
Who Would Benefit The Most From This Intensive Retreat:
We have designed this Intensive Retreat specifically for Yoga Teachers and/or more experienced practitioners. By 'more experienced practitioners' we do not mean to imply that you need to be able to wrap your leg around your head or be able to contort yourself. Rather, the Retreat is designed for Yoga students and Teachers, where Yoga is already an established part of their lives, who feel they could use some re-inspiration and time out with like minded others.
Although we love beginning Yoga students, this Retreat has been designed to cater to the more experienced practitioner.
The Venue:
The retreat will be held at Melati Cottages in Ubud, Bali. The studio we use is large, airy, wooden floored and set amongst gardens and rice paddies. Melati Cottages are simple yet sweet and located in the Penestanan area of Ubud.
Participants will be able to take single rooms which include large beds, a balcony, mosquito nets & daily breakfasts. Restaurants and even cheaper 'warungs' (local food venues) are available close by. Melati Cottages is just a few minutes by car to Ubud central.
