DESIGNING MEANINGFUL
CLASSES
a workshop for teachers
​
Are you a yoga teacher and
-
do you want to take your classes and your students to the next level?
-
do you want to learn how to create classes that resonate further than the yoga mat?
-
do you want to learn how to really convey a theme and have your students embody it?
-
are you curious about how different elements like free movement, storytelling, philosophy or journaling can enhance your classes?
Then I have created a little gem for you!
DESIGNING MEANINGFUL CLASSES is an inspiring afternoon in which I will share some really valuable tools that will unlock your teaching. (Seriously, I can’t imagine teaching anymore without these!) It is more than just a sequencing workshop. You will learn how to make your classes feel like an engaging story that takes your students onto a journey inward and that will stay with them long after they left the mat,

About Lies
Over the nine years of facilitating yoga classes – and another ten years before that as a movement teacher – Lies has developed a unique teaching style in which she weaves her poetic language with various elements depending on the context of the class. Mainly her students describe her classes as a journey that takes them deeply inward and into an experience.
Lies will offer a safe space with lots of freedom and the permission to work within the ranges of ones possibilities. She loves to work both within the structured frame of familiar asanas and at the same time encourage to venture outside of the safe space of the known, even off the mat.
For Lies, yoga is an amazing way to, through movement and philosophy, invite slowfulness and wonderment, learn more about ourselves and the world, hopefully find meaning in life itself - even though we might never fully understand. For Lies yoga unites the very defined matter of our bodies themselves with the seeking for answers for the fundamental questions of life that we all share.
​
Lies is a full time certified yoga teacher (E-RYT500 & YACEP) and has taught in well-known studios like AntwerpYoga – where she still is part of the teacher training team - and Studio Pili. You can read more about where she trained here.
