SUMMARY:Practice: Embodying Your Curvy + Beloved Body
DESCRIPTION:Have you been wanting to connect with your body and self in a deep way? \nSo have we. And in our experience\, that’s not a once and done process. Nor is it something that can be done in only one way. \nComing into loving relationship with yourself takes seeing yourself in new ways and feeling your body from the inside out. \nThat’s why we created Practice. \n\nWho We Are\n\nVivienne McMaster is a photographer and leader of the Be Your Own Beloved workshops.  Be Your Own Beloved explores self-portraiture as a transformative tool for creating a loving and ever-evolving relationship with our self-image and our bodies. \n  \n  \n \nAnna Guest-Jelley is the founder of Curvy Yoga\, a training and inspiration portal for body-lovin’ yogis and their teachers. As a writer\, teacher and lifelong champion for women’s empowerment and body acceptance\, Anna encourages people of every size\, age and ability to grab life by the curves. And never let go. \n  \n  \n\nHow This Came to Be\n\nWe dreamt up this course after several soulful conversations about wanting to share body acceptance in truly concrete ways. Ways that would resonate for people and help facilitate the process that has unfolded in our own lives over many years. \nAs we talked\, we realized that the combination of self-portraiture and embodiment through yoga was a potent one. When Anna took Viv’s Be Your Own Beloved course\, she filled in a piece of her own self-love journey that she hadn’t even realized had been missing: truly seeing herself in a kind light. And when Viv got inspired to return to yoga after exploring Curvy Yoga\, she was reminded of how essential connecting breath and joyful movement are\, no matter your shape or size. \nSo here we are — delighted and oh SO excited to be combining our personal experience\, passion and expertise in this course. You can watch up chat a bit about it below! \nPrefer to read the interview? You can read the transcript here! \n\nWhy Practice?\n\nThis course is called Practice because that’s what loving your self requires — kind practice. As much as we may wish some days that we had a magic pill to finally love ourselves forever\, with no exceptions\, we don’t. What we have instead is our own ever-evolving practice\, and the desire to share that in a community of people who are interested in developing and exploring their own practice. \nAnd that is what we’ll be doing together over the course of one body lovin’ month. \nHere’s what you’ll receive: \n\n4 weeks of prompts (M-F)\, each week’s theme built around an accessible yoga pose\nYour prompts will include suggestions & reflections on the week’s pose\, a related meditation\, 2 self-portraiture opportunities & a video to bring you into your weekend\nSupport from Anna and Vivienne\nA private Flickr group to share your photos — this isn’t required\, but it is an incredibly powerful part of the experience\n\n\nAbout Our Yoga\n\nThe yoga shared in this course is designed to connect you with your body in a way that feels really good. No one needs to be able to put their leg behind their head (because goodness knows we won’t be\, at least not without a trip to the hospital!). \n \nAll you need is a willingness to give yoga a whirl. Anna’s teaching is focused on meeting people of every experience level\, ability and body shape/size exactly where they are\, so even if you don’t feel flexible\, have an injury or illness\, or secretly think yoga probably isn’t for you\, you will be able to do this yoga. \nBecause this yoga is about body positivity and getting to know yourself through joyful\, gentle movement. \n\nAbout Our Self-Portraiture\n\nWhile self-portraiture or even being in photos is often really outside of the comfort zone for most folks\, in this class we’ll be exploring using self-portraiture as a tool to see ourselves and our bodies with kindness and compassion. \nVivienne’s approach to self-portraiture is playful\, accessible and welcoming.  You absolutely don’t need to have any photography experience to explore the self-portraiture aspects of this class\, and we highly suspect you’ll have more fun exploring these self-portrait activities than you ever believed possible! \n  \n\nRegistration\n\nThis course runs May 19-June 13. You will receive prompts from us by email M-F of each week\, leaving you the weekends to process\, play and revisit anything you’d like from the week before. \nThe cost of the course is $49\, which you can pay in full or in 2 payments of $26.50 (there’s a tiny administrative fee for the 2-pay option). Pretty sweet for support from both of us\, right? This process has been so transformative for us that we wanted to make it as accessible financially as we could. \nWith the 2-pay option\, your second payment will be automatically withdrawn 3 weeks after your first payment. \nRegistration closes on Sunday\, May 18\, at 12:00pm PT. \n\n  \n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n1. What will I need to do yoga for this course? \nWhile having a yoga mat will be nice\, particularly if you have slippery floors\, it is not a necessity. Everything we’ll be doing can be done without a mat\, and it can also be done without “official” yoga props like blocks and straps. Anna will show options with props\, but she will also tell you how you can easily use things around your house as substitutes. \n2. I don’t have a fancy camera. Can I still do self-portraiture? \nOh yes! You can absolutely explore self-portraiture with any type of camera.  One thing you will need is a timer\, which almost all basic point and shoot or DSLR cameras do have.  You are absolutely welcome to use an iPhone for the photography aspects of this class\, and one free app that you might want to get in preparation for the class is called Gorillacam. It will be oh so helpful during the class! \nWhile we aren’t exploring technical aspects of photography in the class\, there will be opportunities to ask Vivienne questions if any technical questions arise as you explore the activities! \n3. What will I need to have going on tech wise to participate? \nWe’ve kept the delivery of this course simple so as many people can participate as possible. Each day’s prompt will come to you via email\, so all you need is access to your email account to participate. On Fridays we’ll be sharing a video\, so if you’d like to watch that\, you’ll need reasonably quick internet to stream it. However\, even if you don’t have that\, we’ll be providing a transcript for the videos so you can still participate. \nThere is a private course Flickr Group which will be our collective community space to share our photos.  Flickr is a free photo-sharing site and is easy to use.   While the Flickr Group isn’t mandatory\, the energy\, support and opportunity to cheer one another on in the group will be something you might want to gift yourself with!  There will also be discussion forums in the Flickr Group where you will be welcome to ask questions and start discussions with your peers.  Flickr is a website but it is also available for iPhone or Android phones and you can access the group through either the website or one of the apps. \n4. I’d love to get to know more about the program and about the facilitators\, where can I do that? \nJoin us for our live Spreecast on May 9th!

SUMMARY:Curvy Yoga Certification
DESCRIPTION:Teaching yoga isn’t just a ‘job’ for you — it’s how you serve the world.\n\nIt’s your calling — your dharma. Your highest work. A total joyfest. \nAnd every day\, you’re called to share the gift of yoga with as many people as possible. \nIt’s a powerful mission. But without the right training & preparation\, some of your curvier students might feel left out of the party. And that’s the last thing you want. \nCurvy Yoga CERTIFICATION is a fabulous option for certified yoga teachers who want to add an additional credential to their toolbox — while learning how to create yoga experiences that are inclusive\, accessible & enriching for students of every size\, shape\, age & ability. \nCurvy Yoga CERTIFICATION is about bringing a spirit of curiosity\, permission & celebration to your classes\, while earning an official ‘seal of approval’ — & getting serious business and marketing support. \nIt’s continuing education for your yoga teaching practice (hello\, tax deduction!) – with a business-building booster shot. \n\nThe Fundamentals:\n\n\nYou’ll learn how to welcome (and keep) curvy students into your class — and master the anatomical how-tos of Curvy Yoga modifications\, with written & teacher-specific video pose instructions for 60+ poses.\nYou’ll explore and develop how to make your classes body positive — without having to feel like a cheerleader yelling out “Love Your Body!” every five seconds.\nYou’ll be challenged to unpack some of your own hardwired ‘body baggage’ — and clear out the emotional gunk\, so you can really show up for your students.\nYou’ll develop your own unique series of curvy-friendly sun salutations & floor salutations — and expand your teaching vocabulary\, allowing you to explain pose modifications with grace.\nYou’ll craft your own unique class & workshop descriptions\, and be guided as you create inclusive marketing materials for your website\, social media presence & online newsletters.\n\n“Curvy Yoga certification not only helped me learn so much about how to help people of all shapes and sizes find their own homecoming through yoga\, but how to engage more deeply with the very spirit of yoga. The course was extremely welcoming\, well-organized\, comprehensive and creative\, covering everything from the language we use in and out of class to adaptations in poses to marketing and outreach. Most of all\, the Curvy Yoga certification helps us to reclaim the wonder of our bodies and what beauty in motion looks like in all sizes and shapes.” ~Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg \n\nThe Format:\n\n\nYou’ll be placed inside a small & lovin’ group — no more than 10 yogis at a time — and work with me for 3 months.\nYou’ll have 6 biweekly group lessons in our online video-classroom (sneak peek below!)  — plus worksheets & instructional videos to use & watch on your own time. In addition\, we’ll set aside half of one of our sessions just for Y-O-U: your questions\, your marketing plan\, your next steps. Plan on devoting about 2-3 hours a week to your training\, for the full 3 month program.\nYou’ll have opportunities to work in dynamic duos with fellow students\, on independent projects — and even homework assignments. Buddy love!\nYou’ll complete (non-sucky) homework assignments on pose modification\, communication & body acceptance. You can practice during your regular yoga classes. (Learning on the job — literally.)\nYou’ll receive a copy of my book\, Permission to CURVE: Inspiring Poses for Curvy Yogis & Their Teachers. It’s a collection of 60+ warm-ups\, poses & sun salutations for yogis of every size\, age & ability — bigger\, rounder\, older\, injured\, or simply differently-abled.\nYou’ll hang out & hone your skills in a private Facebook group — just for certified Curvy Yoga teachers (and curvesters-in-training). It’s a rollicking place to ask questions\, share on-the-job realizations & learn from other body positive teachers. Peer skill-sharing + a passionate community = In-frickin-valuable support.\n\n \n  \nUpon completing your Curvy Yoga CERTIFICATION program\, you’ll receive a boatload of marketing tools & support\, including: \n\nLifetime use of the Curvy Yoga trademark\, including a copy of the Curvy Yoga logo and a “Curvy Yoga Certified” badge to use in all of your print & online marketing materials.\nYour name & website listed on the Curvy Yoga website\, so local students can find you! We had 88\,000+ unique visitors to our site in 2013\, and the numbers continue to soar . . . (and our currently certified teachers get referrals from our site quite often!).\nReady-to-roll marketing templates (including Curvy Yoga class flyers)\, emails to prospective studio owners & a press release template for local media.\nA ‘new teacher’ blog feature on CurvyYoga.com. This is a powerful chance to share your personal yoga story & show the Curvy Yoga community what you’re all about! (These blog features have resulted in new student sign-ups\, private session teaching opportunities\, fan mail … it’s your moment in the spotlight! Own it!)\nClass planning tools\, including sequencing & languaging checklists.\nThat private Facebook group I mentioned? You’ll have access\, forever.\nTraining & material updates — for life. As I unroll new Curvy Yoga Certification products\, you’ll get them … for free! The Curves just don’t stop!\nAnnnnnd….a FREE Alumni program — ongoing engagement\, support and bimonthly calls with Anna and the community of Curvy Yoga teachers. This isn’t a typical once and done training program; we’re invested in you for the long haul. (To our knowledge\, we’re the only certification around that offers this — particularly at no additional cost to you!)\n\n“I have done many trainings with experienced and well known yogis\, and I feel Anna is up there with the best. Most of the time in the other workshops you are being told what to do\, but the Curvy Yoga training is a dialogue and collaboration.” ~Chastidy Whitaker \n\nThe Logistics:\n\n\nYour course materials will be housed on a beautiful\, easy-to-navigate members page on my website\, so you will need access to the internet to view and download those materials.\nThe live classes will utilize a web-based platform (so you can see both me & my screen) and audio. You will need a computer with internet access to participate.\nWhat you won’t need: to brush your hair ahead of time. I won’t be able to see you. 🙂\n\n\nThe Investment:\n\n$675 (or 3 payments of $225\, which are automatically withdrawn on a monthly basis). I’m only accepting 10 students/group\, so the spots go quickly! I recommend that you choose a group that you’ll be able to attend at least 4 times live. \n\n“They say that when you need them\, the teacher will appear. Anna is THAT teacher. \nBig hearted\, wise and loving – the information\, insight\, support and resources that Anna has provided throughout the certification process is WAY more than I’d expected\, and it means that I’m now able to feel super comfy in passing on her wisdom\, through me\, to my students.” ~Lisa Lister \n\nApril 2014: Day Group\n\nMondays\, 12:00 – 1:00pm ET (time zone converter) \n\nMon April 21\nApril 28\nMay 12\nMay 26\nJune 2\nJune 9\n\nClick here to pay in full: $675\nClick here for the 3-pay option: $225 each (will be automatically withdrawn each month) \n\nApril 2014: Evening Group\n\nTuesdays\, 7:00 – 8:00pm ET (time zone converter) \n\nTues\, April 22\nApril 29\nMay 13\nMay 27\nJune 3\nJune 10\n\nClick here to pay in full: $675\nClick here for the 3-pay option: $225 each (will be automatically withdrawn each month) \n\nGet on Our Notification List!\n\nWant to keep in the loop about when new groups open up?
