If you struggle to try and stay inspired week after week with your classes, or want help planning themes for your classes…this course is PERFECT! Yoga teachers have long raved that Myths of the Asanas has been a perfect companion to class preparation, and this course takes it to the next level. In it, Alanna shows you how to lead a “dharma talk” on each of the myths, gives you hints as to how to incorporate the theme throughout the class, which poses to include, and other elements that give your classes that extra special touch of myth, mystery and magic!

This course is right for anyone interested in the mythology of yoga. Whether you are a student looking to explore the power of myth in your practice or a teacher looking for ways to weave themes into your classes, this course is perfect. It is also great for teachers who need continuing education credits for Yoga Alliance (non-contact hours) or The Kaivalya Yoga Method.

Well…I literally wrote the book! 😀 In addition to that, my background in yoga spans nearly two decades, and I have been leading teacher trainings for 15 years. I have written three books on the field of yoga including Myths of the Asanas, Sacred Sound and Yoga Beyond the Mat. I also have a Ph.D. focused on this material and my expertise includes mythology, alchemy, depth psychology and yoga. I integrate all these into my understanding of yoga to develop a complete, integrative approach that brings the ancient practice into modern life.
