More on the Breakti® Immersion and TT:

Breakti Teacher Training and Immersion - Module One - 35 hours
Fearlessness, Flight and Flow

Featured in Yoga Journal, Origin Magazine and many other publications, Breakti® unites the precision, flow and attention of yoga with the dynamism, fierce playfulness, and power of street dance. Through a carefully crafted vinyasa sequence we will efficiently access core and upper body strength, prepare the spine, wrists and shoulders, and open the sides and inner lines of the body using both traditional yoga asana and postures and transitions that derive from street dance and break(dance). The class builds to a dynamic, sweaty and engaging flow that integrates music, repetition and various hand balancing techniques, inspiring practitioners to step to their edge, let loose inhibitions that can impede growth in practice, and discover and own their inherent fearlessness and strength in inversions and arm balances. 

This foundational Breakti® Immersion introduces those already teaching yoga and yoga-related movement to the basic principles outlining a Breakti® Flow class and how to incorporate  the Breakti® methodology into any existing class.  

Expect to gain a solid understanding of the fundamental principles and style that make Breakti® a unique movement experience for anyone.  Arm balances and inversion variations relate to breakin’ freezes or stalls, repetition in traditional yoga asanas/transitions create a sense of rhythm and play in practice, handstand variations allow practitioners to step to new edges in balancing and fearlessness.  Immersion students will learn foundational sequences and postures and then play with how to creatively thread  these into classes, along with many variations and modifications for differing needs and levels of experience.  

In addition to the physical practice, reading and writing assignments will be given prior to the training to prep and work with the concept of fearlessness, the “shadow”, hip hop as a working ground, and more.  Creating an inviting and inclusive environment is a huge component to Breakti®, so this will be the underlying framework for most of the training.
