Advancing

The advanced training (100hrs) is either taken on as a private group (no more than 5 students), alternatively this could be done as a private training where it is just you and Mel working hands on, in person.

We look at some of the following;
- Assists ( how to access, go in with confidence and make a change)
- Healing modalities that I use to work on bodies in Asana or even just body work in Savasana eg. Cranial Sacral. 
- As well as deconstructing the way you think of sequencing and refinement of these techniques - within your existing style.

It really is for the teacher who is looking to hone in and make a group/private class feel unique in a way that is healing and transformative not just for the student but for yourself as a teacher.
