Advanced Teacher Training

This is a 5 day retreat in Sandpoint, ID that will focus on choreography, sequencing, conscious movement, breath work, teaching practicums & belonging

Choreography & Sequencing:  Highlight your inner choreographer, emphasizing the style of music, movements and play that align with who you are in the moment.  Get creative with transitions you can use in a yoga class, or integrated yoga/dance class. The education and skills offered will create the foundation needed to create your own WildCore™ routines rooted in confidence, somatic intelligence, grace, alignment & joy.


Conscious Movement:  Included in this root are the Pranic Wheels or Witness Wheels that are woven into each WildCore™ Dance & Yoga class. Here we activate our ability to self heal through pranic sweeping and sensing the support of the group as we witness ourselves being seen and learn to hold space for others.

Breath-work: The breath can support the dance and the dance can support the breath. Building awareness of our breath as we move can literally transform our dance experience from one level to another. The entire 5 day experience will have breath awareness woven through as we move, as we invoke class, as we close. The breath can connect us to the 5 elements and enhance our life experience.

Belonging: Our society lives with the illusion that we are all separate, yet in fact we are all so very connected. As teachers we will each navigate the sense of belonging differently. Love is the root that weaves us all together, as teachers we must soften our hearts, release judgements and be willing to be wrong.  

Teacher Practicum: This piece of the retreat will get students in front of others to practice their sequences, transitions, on the spot changes, and hands-on assisting with more advanced themes and leadership skills.
