I’m creating some new courses- this one I’m really excited about. It’s very unique as far
as I know… If you are a teacher, especially if English is NOT your first language, then I highly
recommend you to come. Past graduates of Yoga Elements teacher training get %15 discount!
I created this course out of a long study of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and related disciplines and then applied it to the art of teaching yoga.
Radiant influence - The communication training for yoga teachers
Have you ever asked yourself why some teachers don’t really pull you in while others have a profound effect? Is it what they teach, or HOW they teach? Bad tone, weak or boring choice of words, ineffective gesturing and worse- unknowingly create negative states of being in your students and may simply affect how many people you can draw in.
Now learn how to be the kind of teacher that students WANT to come back to. In this course you will learn the skills to transform your dialogue, sequencing, and presentation skills to have them coming back for more! You will take away powerful information on how to positively influence your students through dialogue, tone, and energetic presence. The result will be fresh, powerful, and unique class sequences, through a blending of psychological and physical outcomes that will blow people’s minds. Students will receive a certificate of completion after the course.
Coming the weekend of March 7-8 2009, four hour sessions on saturday and sunday.

Before a recent trip to Thailand, I Google searched yoga studios in the Bangkok area and found Yoga Elements, voted 11th best yoga studio in the world.
We had most of Sunday to spend in Bangkok before heading north to Chiang Mai (to study Thai Yoga Massage at ITM).
Yoga Elements offers a 10 a.m. Sunday class and our Chiang Mai flight did not depart until 3 p.m. (or so I thought). Perfect.
We headed out for the class with ample time and enjoyed the Bangkok Sky Train en route to Chidlom, where the studio is located in a building on the 23rd floor. Bangkok is beautiful, lush and fresh amidst the stone and signage. The people smile genuinely and the taxi cabs are bright pink.
As we hopped off the sky train, sheets of rain fell and we were suddenly soaked. We ducked into a nearby Grand Hyatt to get our bearings. The friendly staff presumed that we were guests at the hotel and happily redirected us.
Despite their help, we walked the streets nearby and could not find the studio. At about 10:07 a.m., when I’d nearly resigned from the search and began opening to other options, I looked up and saw the Yoga Elements sign.
Although we were in a very foreign city, in a very tall building, I walked in the studio doors, inhaled the incense and smelled the tea, absorbed the smile of the woman behind the desk and felt home!
Yui, our teacher, had incredibly gentle yet powerful energy. Her Vinyasa class was beautifully sequenced and being two of five students, we were privileged to great assists. Everyone there had a regular practice which contributed to good group energy and flow. Yui’s Thai English accent wove in with the smoothly with the rhythm of Krishna Das, who’s Pilgrim Heart played in the background. Despite the sky high view and the newness of this country, my yoga practice connected me deeply to myself and to home in Vermont. This is the universal power of yoga, free of time and space. Never before have 5 oms sounded so harmonious to me.
On our walk out, I noticed a sign for the Yoga Journal Conference in Bangkok, November 1st and 2nd- the exact days I was scheduled to pass through the city again.So this trip continued to form itself.
I thought we departed at 3:00 in the afternoon. When we arrived at the airport at 1:30 p.m., we quickly realized landing time was 3:00 and boarding was in 2 minutes! With a dear little Ganesha statue in my pocket, I knew we’d make it. We hopped on board, without waiting and arrived in Chiang Mai one hour later.
We returned to Bangkok the following Saturday night to catch Sunday at the YJ Bangkok Conference. One of the best workshops I took was led by Adrian Cox. In two hours I learned as much as had combined in my other introduction to these energy wheels. Turns out, Adrian Cox is the founder of Yoga Elements.
Synchronicity abounds when we open our eyes and heart.
