Mindful Strength Teacher’s Immersion 2020

April 1, 2020 - June 30, 2020

Registration is opening soon for the Mindful Strength Teacher’s Immersion.

The Mindful Strength Teacher’s Immersion is the best way for teachers to expand and elevate their skills in a small-group training environment. In 2020 I’m leading one intensive in Cornwall Ontario and another group will complete the immersion from home in a three-month interactive online experience. Interested in either of these programs? Email hello@mindfulstrength.ca and we will put you on our list.

Guest Faculty

We are so excited to announce our DREAM TEAM of guest teachers who will lecture in the online part of the Immersion.

Her unique approach incorporates her extensive study in biomechanics with the modern application of yoga asana to help teachers develop their craft and empower them with education.

She leads workshops and continuing education courses worldwide, providing yoga schools with the most current research in biomechanics.

About the in-person Teacher’s Immersion

Each day participants will get a chance to practice/learn with Kathryn, participate in some type of group work, take a workshop with a guest instructor and make new connections both on and off the mat. Days will run from approximately 8:30am to 4:30pm with a lunch break. Participants should come prepared for full days, and a lot of learning! Although the main part of this immersion is held over five days in Cornwall, it begins with a three-month online course. The online component will introduce everyone to the concepts of Mindful Strength, biomechanics, pain science, accessibility and how to create an effective and safe learning environment. The online course has a pre-recorded component as well as live online lectures and participation with Kathryn and her team of guest faculty.

If you plan to attend the in-person Teacher’s Immersion we recommend you apply ASAP as this course has sold out very early for the last two years. Only 15 participants will be accepted. Participants must have completed a YTT, personal training or other exercise instructor certification program.
