Lead educator: Kat Hanner, MA, NBC-HWC, E-RYT

Kat is a registered yoga teacher and wellness coach with an Oxygen Advantage® instructor certification who educates and coaches through partnership.

Workshop in St. Louis or Virtual: $130 / person

Saturday, December 5th from 1 PM - 5 PM
Pierce Arrow Building, 4814 Washington Ave Ste. 322
Also available via virtual live video call

Includes a four-hour live immersion on Saturday and four hours of independent study to be completed asynchronously.

Topics include:

• Techniques, Training and Practice — Do the thing. Practice vinyasa yoga with Oxygen Advantage® breath training methods, and learn how to break down the techniques.
• Teaching Methodology — Learn the thing. Build an understanding of why this practice is applied for intentional regulation while learning to teach the asana and breath practices effectively.
• Anatomy and Physiology — Be scientific. Physiological changes start with anatomical awareness. Learn about applied concepts including carbon dioxide tolerance, hyperventilation and oxygen delivery to the tissues and brain.
• History and Lifestyle — Connect the thing. Includes a historical overview of pranayama and Oxygen Advantage® breath training, derived from the Buteyko Breathing Method that trained slow, light nasal breathing and has been used in studies for reducing asthma symptoms.
