Three weeks

Checklist:

• Practice your teaching, thirty min classes start this week, hour classes start next
• Finish and turn in your test, all have to be in by the 28th (or before would be great)
• Pay your tuition on or before by the 28th
• Record your hours and attend all classes in order to graduate.

A few notes on teaching in savasana:
When you are doing meditation, keep it simple, you can do a reading or say something but give at least three minutes of silence. Here is a sample of how I would recommend meditation for a five min session.
Lay on back in savasana
Do a short reading or body scan lasting about a minute to a minute and a half
Remind students of breath: Inhale expand your body exhale sink.
Now we will have silent meditation for three minutes
Roll to left or right side rescue, take a breath, come up to sitting, one to three Namaste breaths.

If you choose to do shoulders: Press down on shoulders between shoulder and neck in the soft area, gently cup hands on neck and carefully pull up, be careful not to pull hair (I struggle with this all the time, some people's necks are more challenging than others). Gently take your thumbs to the third eye and press down for a breath. You can gently move your thumbs over the arch of the brow but it's not necessary. If you do ears always end by doing the pulling up method on the top of the ear. "If in doubt do without" is the best motto.
When working on necks and faces, lets keep it to the third eye area though I and some others love to have our entire face worked on some people feel uncomfortable with a lot of touch, maybe ask your students if you have a small class what they prefer. Everyone is different. Sensory issues are common and many people are not used to being touched.

*It is always okay to just lay them on their back and be quite for the entire time if that feels best to you and your class.
