Introduction
The world needs you to share the empowering teachings that you love.
Here you will find support for creating a plan to progressively cover a topic through a series of classes or workshops. The classes can be tied together based on a philosophy or anatomy topic, an asana category, yoga tool such as pranayama, or many other themes.
Any topic you choose should, of course, be one that you have practiced for a long time.
Getting Started
Decide on series title and focus.
Even if you don’t plan specific workshops, you may wish to promote the benefits of your upcoming classes to encourage student commitment and attendance.
Promote your upcoming offerings.
See below for ideas on how to structure your workshop. When you select the content links, you’ll go directly to vast amounts of organized teaching content to choose from.
We also offer affordable student handouts to support your workshops. Information here.
These Structured Series Proposals are Flexible
Each topic below is broken into a relatively large number of sub-topics so that you can easily choose how you wish to structure your material.
For instance, you’ll see 13 possible sub-topics for yamas and niyamas.
If you’re covering a large philosophical scope, you can cover the yamas and niyamas in one class.
You can cover the subject in two classes (one on yamas and one on niyamas).
You can cover the subject in ten classes (one for each) or in 12 or 13 classes (by adding an overview, a class on kriya yoga, and a summary/closing).
