About the Retreat
Education sessions will be a combination of theoretical learning and
practical application, with a focus on “doing”. In addition to learning
about movement mechanics and actions involved in asana, we will explore
and apply what it means to adjust adhering to ahimsa and integrity.
Through understanding proper alignment we can encourage practitioners
to go beyond the body and find the internal practice.
Additionally, we will learn about sequencing, verbal cues and use of silence in class.
We will go over in detail and practice adjustments from the Ashtanga
Primary Series, as well as key poses and preparations up to Dwi Pada
Sirsasana in Second Series, for those practicing these poses themselves.
Participant requests to review particular adjustments will be covered
as time permits.
Teachers will leave feeling confident in adjusting students and
practitioners will gain insight into their own body and practice.
Topics include: Introduction to Movement Mechanics
- How movement is learned & created
- The kinetic chain
- Cueing movement vs. direction in teaching
- Basic exercise physiology: stretching, strength and balance
- The pathway to injury
Actions of Asana
- Breathing & bandhas
- Entering, exiting and being in asana
- Forward bending
- Hip internal & external rotation
- Twisting
- Back bending
- Inverting
Adjusting Beyond Alignment
- How to know if a student is straining (not only physically)
- How much to adjust, what is appropriate and when
- How to encourage and help people find the internal practice, using
proper alignment to help students transcend the physical posture
- Adjusting with integrity (adhering to ahimsa)
Sequencing and Verbal Cues
- How to sequence a beginner, basic, and intermediate level “flow” or “vinyasa” class
- Frameworks for restorative classes, with detailed outlines of classes
- Sequencing that makes sense anatomically and energetically
- Appropriate verbal cues for intended results
- How to use silence in a class (when to talk and when to be quiet)
Arielle Nash-Degagne
Arielle has been interested in human movement since
she was a competitive teenage athlete, which led her to pursue her
degree in Kinesiology. After her degree and years of competitive sports,
she recognized the healing and balancing effects that a committed
Ashtanga practice created within her own body. In 2005, Ariellecompleted
the Centered Yoga Teacher Training, with Paul Dallaghan, where she was
fortunate to be introduced to Sri O.P. Tiwari and the study of
pranayama. In addition to travelling through Europe, South America,
Central America, India, China and Southeast Asia, she returned to
Thailand annually to grow in her practice,prior to making it her home in
2013.
Arielle teaches with humility and aims to guide students toward a
better understanding of their physicality. Arielle also teaches anatomy
in teacher trainings and continuing education courses, at Samahita and
other yoga studios. She is grateful to her teachers, Paul Dallaghan,
Tiwariji and R. Sharath Jois who have shared a part of themselves to
guide her along this path. For more please see her full see full bio.
Elonne Stockton 
Elonne has been a committed yoga practitioner and
devotee since the early age of 14. She has lived and taught in the
Bahamas, Canada, India, the United States, and Taiwan where she has
taught asana, pranayama, and meditation at yoga studios, ashrams,
resorts, schools, orphanages, hospitals, and clinics.
In 2006, Elonne moved to Asia, where she met her teachers, Paul Dallaghan, O.P. Tiwari, and Richard Freeman.
As Elonne's understanding of the practice grows, she feels more and
more like a beginner, and she is excited to continue this journey. She
feels blessed by the opportunity to teach at Samahita Retreat, and she
is extremely grateful for the chance to help others while she continues
her own studies. For more see her full bio.
