A ground-breaking panel with some of the country's foremost teachers tackling the tricky terrain of touch, power dynamics, the teacher-student relationship, and the future of teaching in the wake of #MeToo and yoga's recent abuse scandals. Join us for a community gathering and introspective dialogue that will be interactive, joyful, provocative, collaborative, and a moment of Svadhyaya (self-study) ensuring the power of touch continues in yoga with integrity.
Panelists include:
Patricia Walden (Director, Iyengar School)
Natasha Rizopoulos (Lead 200/300 Hour Trainer)
Kate O’Donnell (Director, Ashtanga and Ayurveda Schools)
Masaaki Okamura (Director, Vinyasa Assisting Program)
Tristan Boyer Binns (President, Iyengar Association of New England)
Justine Wiltshire Cohen (Director, Down Under School of Yoga)
The evening will open with a discussion among panelists and then evolve into a community dialogue including all attendees. This is not simply a presentation by faculty – panelists will answer questions and debate ideas for the first half, and then open the floor for further discussion, and finally break out into smaller groups to explore concrete moves Down Under and other studios might adopt.
This event is free and open to the community. Pre-registration is strongly recommended.
