Certified Embodied Yoga Teacher Training By Tara Judelle
What it means to be an Embodied Flow facilitator
Embodied Flow facilitators look for doors into students’ learning potential and take into account both what is in front of them and what is in shadow. Valuing the student as an equal explorer, whose innate wisdom and authentic Self are equal partners, facilitators provide students with resources, information, ideas, and strategies to raise consciousness and curiosity about the environment, interpersonal and intrapersonal communication, as well as offering practices towards a felt sense of self.
We look at the classroom as a laboratory for our living experience, and as facilitators of this laboratory we investigate and strengthen our own presence, curiosity, authenticity, vulnerability, and space holding capabilities as we support others on their life’s journey.
