YTT – Technique & Adjustment Course Starting March 14th (3 weekends)

YTT Technique & Adjustment Workshops (Stavanger) | The Yoga Nest
Build confidence in hands-on adjustments, alignment, and teaching technique through 6 progressive weekend workshops. Join one module or the full Yoga Alliance–accredited series.

Touch that teaches. Presence that transforms.

A progressive series of 3 weekends (6 workshop days) where you get to feel alignment, understand what you see, and practice hands-on adjustments with clarity and care.

Whether you’re already teaching, preparing to teach, or simply curious about how skillfully deepen your practice, this is a space where your confidence can grow, one adjustment at a time.

Join a full weekend, or take the full series as part of our Yoga Alliance–accredited Teacher Training / Continuing Education pathway.

What you’ll explore

This is hands-on, skill-focused training and learning will land in your hands, not only in your head.

You’ll practice

  • Effective, supportive adjustments that respect bodies and boundaries
  • Safe alignment techniques you can apply across different bodies
  • Anatomy + biomechanics made practical (so your teaching becomes clearer)
  • Teaching methodology that helps you cue, observe, and assist with confidence

And just as importantly: the subtle skill of knowing when not to adjust, when holding space is the most powerful choice.

Who can join

If you’ve ever thought “I wish I knew exactly what to do with my hands” you’ll feel at home here.

This series welcomes:

  • Yoga practitioners who want to enhance technique and embodiment
  • Aspiring teachers who want a strong foundation before stepping forward
  • Certified teachers who want more confidence, clarity, and options in assists
  • 200h / 300h Teacher Training students (these weekends are included as part of the program)

Workshop Series Overview (3 weekends / 6 workshop days)

Each weekend builds your skills through hands-on repetition, feedback, and real teaching practice, then the next weekend takes you deeper. Across the series, you’ll explore four core themes:

  • Foundation & Stability — understanding balance, alignment, and what to observe before you touch
  • Deepening Adjustments — techniques that support flexibility and safe assists
  • Energy & Breath Connection — using touch to refine breath awareness and presence
  • Building Confidence as a Teacher — hands-on practice in a teaching environment, so you can apply what you learn

How the series is structured

Across these workshop weekends, you’ll work through the full Primary Series, asana by asana and your hands learn what your eyes see.

Module 1 — Sun Salutations and Standing Sequence

You’ll refine Sun salutations and the standing asanas: foundations, balance, transitions, and how to assist with stability and clarity.

Module 2 — Up to Half Primary

You’ll continue through the sequence from where the standing postures end up to Half Primary, building confidence in assists, alignment choices, and teaching cues.

Module 3 — Full Primary + Closing Sequence

You’ll complete the work through the remainder of Primary Series, including the closing sequence—with special attention on safe depth, breath, and consistency.

Dates (6 workshop days)

Module 1 — Standing Sequence

  • Technique & Adjustment WS1: Saturday March 14th
  • Technique & Adjustment WS2: Sunday March 15th

Module 2 — Up to Half Primary

  • Technique & Adjustment WS3: Saturday March 21st
  • Technique & Adjustment WS4: Sunday March 22nd

Module 3 — Full Primary + Closing Sequence

  • Technique & Adjustment WS5: Saturday March 28th
  • Technique & Adjustment WS6: Sunday March 29th

Taking this as YTT200 / Yoga Alliance education

These weekends can count as part of an accredited training/continuing education pathway (when combined with the full requirements of the program).

Pre-requisites (for YTT200 pathway)

To help you get the most out of the hands-on work, you’ll complete:

  • Selected sessions from the Online Anatomy Course before attending
  • Selected sessions from the Online Ashtanga Foundation Course before attending
  • A commitment to Mysore practice the following week, so your learning integrates into your body (not just your notes)

How to register

Spots are limited so you get personalized attention and feedback.

Choose your path

  • Join one weekend (Module 1, 2, or 3)
  • Join the full series (all 3 weekends)

If you’re choosing a single weekend, you’re still getting a complete learning arc 2 workshop days to practice, repeat, and let the work land.

What you’ll leave with

  • A clearer eye for alignment (and what actually matters)
  • Hands-on tools that feel grounded, respectful, and safe
  • More confidence in assisting, without overthinking
  • A teaching rhythm: observe → choose → assist → hold space

NLP Foundations for yoga teachers – March 1st

NLP Foundations for Yoga Teachers

A 2-Day Immersion to Strengthen Your Teaching, Deepen Your Awareness, and Expand Your Impact

As a yoga teacher, you already guide with presence, breath, and intention.
But what if your words could do even more?

In this 2-day foundational course, you’ll explore how Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can amplify your ability to connect, communicate, and inspire—from the inside out.

You’ll learn:

  • How to adapt your cues to your students’ learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)
  • How your own mental states influence your energy and confidence as a teacher
  • Tools to build trust, shift limiting beliefs, and hold space with greater clarity
  • Simple language patterns that foster safety, focus, and transformation in class

This is more than a communication workshop.
It’s a deep dive into the how behind what you already do and a doorway to even more intentional teaching.

Whether you’re looking to grow your confidence, better understand your students, or bring more awareness into your practice, this is your next step.

Join us—and take your teaching to a new level of clarity, connection, and purpose.

YTT – Yoga Sutra Workshop Nov 2025 (On-Demand option)

Open to All Levels of Curiosity and Experience

The course is already started, however you may join in on the on-demand version.
Please contact us to join

The Yoga Sutras aren’t something to master, they are something to meet. In this four-session workshop series, you’re invited into a conversation with these timeless teachings. A space where ancient wisdom meets modern life, and where philosophy becomes personal.

Whether you’re on the path of teacher training or exploring yoga as a way of living, this series welcomes your questions, your reflections, and your presence.

What to Expect

  • Thoughtful conversations around key sutras and the themes they open
  • Insights into yogic philosophy, ethics, and mindfulness as living practices
  • Tools to bring these teachings into both your practice and your daily choices
  • A blend of dialogue, reflection, and quiet — including guided meditation to anchor what you learn

Who Is This For?

  • You’ve felt that yoga is more than movement — and you want to explore what that “more” is
  • You’re curious about the inner life of yoga — the mind, the self, and the path between them
  • You’re on a teaching path and want to speak from more than theory — from lived understanding
  • You simply want to be in a space where philosophy meets presence, not performance

Workshop Overview

Each session opens one of the many doors within the Yoga Sutras:
1. The Path of Yoga
Why yoga? What is it really for? We begin with the structure and purpose of the Sutras.
2. The Mind and Its Fluctuations
How do thoughts move? What is stillness? Explore the patterns of mind and the space behind them.
3. The Eight Limbs of Yoga
A practical and profound roadmap — not as rules, but as invitations toward clarity and integration.
4. Living the Teachings
What does this look like off the mat? We close by exploring how the Sutras can shape how we relate, act, and live.
