This week, I'm sharing with you a free professional development opportunity being offered to the yoga teaching community by my friends and colleagues at the American Yoga Council.
The AYC Yoga Teacher Summit is September 21–25, featuring five days of live education designed to help yoga teachers continue learning, growing, and strengthening their teaching chops.
Sessions are live online each day from 12–1 PM ET, and registration for the entire Summit is completely free.
This year's lineup includes:
- Christopher Jain Miller, PhD — Bringing Your Yoga Mat to Graduate School: Transforming from Practitioner to Practitioner-Scholar
- DJ Taz Rashid — The Art of Yoga Music: Build Better Playlists, Faster
- Theo Wildcroft, PhD & Beverley Nolan — Leading Safe & Simple Relaxation
- Matt Giordano — Anatomy in Action: Understand the Body, Transform Your Teaching
- Lara Heimann, PT — How Adding Weights Can Preserve & Enhance Your Practice
Whether you're currently in teacher training, newly certified, or have been teaching for years, I invite you to take advantage of this opportunity to keep learning alongside the wider yoga community.
