The Asana Teaching Guides are precisely organized PDFs that give you quick and comprehensive reference for teaching, cueing, sequencing and adapting poses. They include pictures and instructions for DOZENS of variations. Samples here.
Continuing Education Manuals are PDFs created from PowerPoint presentations, offering a more visual guide for methodically studying subject matter.
The Asana Teaching Guides and Continuing Education Manuals are for self-guided study and professional development — not for distribution. (For material you can distribute, see Student Handouts below. For training manuals, see the Trainer Membership.)
When you offer workshops and class series, you and your students get the satisfaction of going deeper and with pre-registration, you tend to bring in significantly more revenue. In our membership area, you’ll find extensive support for planning workshops, and here in the Store you’ll find Student Handouts — professionally-designed with top-notch content to add value to your workshops. They’re brief enough to be inviting and deep enough to add real value. The handouts can guide your own class planning, or can simply serve as value-added support for students.
Purchase of the handouts includes rights to copy and distribute for your students. For more information and a free sample Student Handout, see here.
