El Pital Yoga Inititive

El Pital Yoga Initiative

Objective:  To form a self-sustaining yoga program in El Pital.

Step 1:  Meet with JUL on Wed. 1/3 before or after JUL election to propose idea.

Questions-

1.     Is there interest for a yoga program?

2.     When would be a good day/time for yoga sessions? Pick a date for the first yoga session (sometime in mid-January).

3.     Who will be invited to participate? (JUL, La Via Anglicana, todo de El Pital)

4.     Who would be interested in co-instructing with Erika?

Step 2:  Plan Yoga sessions with Marion’s help (starting in January once Marion is back from France).

1.      Start with 2 yoga sessions (slowly increase until we have 10 planed yoga session that can be reproduced by the community of El Pital- 5 short sessions- 20-30min & 5 long sessions- 45min).

2.     Make power points/slides of each session that can be kept in the Biblioteca Café in El Pital.

3.     Marion will review sessions with Erika several times until she feels ready to instruct on her own.

Step 3: 2-3 mo of Yoga sessions lead by Erika with the help of a co-instructor from the community (before each session, Erika and co-instructor will review moves and a copy of the power point/slides will be given to the co-instructor for future reference).

Step 4:  Community co-instructor becomes main instructor with Erika changing to co-instructor.  The community co-instructor can continue to expand her/his knowledge of Yoga through reviewing yoga books and videos and adding on to the sessions originally planned by Marion and Erika.
