Singapore Online with Peter Thomson Peter is a senior teacher in the Iyengar tradition Dates: 5 & 6 June 2021 (Saturday and Sunday) I will be teaching a 2 day workshop specifically for Singapore students on the above dates.
I am making the workshop open to both students from the pre-covid Teacher Development /Training sessions and “General” workshop students to investigate the viability of these sessions.
However that does mean that these sessions will be straddling quite a broad spread in understanding and experience which makes it quite difficult to pitch the workshop appropriately most especially in zoom sessions having their own particular set of difficulties.
So what I’ve decided to do is to adopt a more question and answer type format in which we use that format to draw out how a systemic method-based approach can be used to address practice-based problems while, along the way, emphasizing what this reveals about our understanding and it’s application.
For this approach to work it will require participation on the part of all students. Mostly it will be driving by your questions and your concerns. My role will be more to bring coherence and digestibility to the process. But it is very important that all students actively have their hand up with participation active and engaged rather than passive.
Enrollments will be through Timothy Khoo at Oasis.
It would help if where possible, students were gathered in the one room. You may wish to attend the intensive at Oasis. This is possible but under current government requirements you will need to bring your own equipment. It is also possible to attend from home. Fees: SGD $200.00Bank transfer details will be made available upon registration. About Peter Thomson Peter has been practicing yoga since 1979 and a student of the Iyengar family since 1981. He has traveled to Pune to study at the Iyengar Institute well over 20 times and has been a participant in most special intensives and courses at the Institute over the years, including notably the backbend intensive with Mr. Iyengar in 1991.Peter is one of Australia's most senior and most experienced teachers and practitioners and has been heavily involved in the development of Iyengar yoga both in Australasian and more recently in South-East Asian region. This is so in terms of basic teaching but also in terms of teaching training and certification processes. Peter’s particular interest in the practice and teaching of yoga is the depth of perception, inquiry and understanding that sustained practice can develop and in making that understanding directly accessible to students so they can claim it as their own in their practice and in their lives. |
