# Event Details - **Event Name**: Functional Adaptations: Advanced Teacher Training With Kimberly Vest - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: *“The essence of my father’s teaching is this: it is not that the person needs to accommodate him or herself to yoga, but rather the yoga practice must be tailored to fit each person.”* — T.K.V. Desikachar Each individual is different and has their own unique physical body and mind. How do we as yoga teachers address each individual’s needs? We adapt asana, pranayama, and meditation specifically to the individual according to their personal needs, limitations, and what they are trying to achieve through their practice. One of the challenges, especially in the classroom setting, is how to give everyone what they need when everyone has different needs based on their specific bodies. Some students may be young or old, new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, have limitations due to injuries, etc.… the list goes on and on. This is where the functional part comes into play. Functional Yoga is not a style, rather it is an approach to teaching asana in a way that works for Every Body. This approach explores yoga asana in a way that supports the effectiveness of how the body moves through asana. In Functional Yoga differences are recognized in each individual and instead of looking at the aesthetics of the pose, students are instructed on how the pose feels rather than how it looks. It is function over form!! This workshop will explore functional adaptations for Every Body. Upon completion of the weekend, you will be able to address the different needs of ALL students in a group setting by providing adaptions through movement and breath, repetition, and holding of postures. While this workshop is being offered as part of our 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training, it is also a stand-alone session open to all yoga instructors. Twelve continuing education units (CEUs) are offered through Yoga Alliance. $325 early bird (by October 1) / $350 (after October 1) Saturday and Sunday October 17th and 18th 12:00 – 6:00 pm - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/roanoke/functional-adaptations-advanced-teacher-training-with-kimberly-vest/200030614278258 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 8 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Roanoke - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: 401 Highland Avenue, SE, Roanoke, VA, United States, Virginia 24013 - **lat**: 37.26441 - **long**: -79.93626 - **full address**: 401 Highland Avenue, SE, Roanoke, VA, United States, Virginia 24013 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Functional Adaptations: Advanced Teacher Training With Kimberly Vest - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/debda86c3a97f83eef364782b950fe473eea13f891c45fcd29d724bc742b13a9-rimg-w1200-h800-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1788254987 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Functional Adaptations: Advanced Teacher Training With Kimberly Vest being held? - **A:** Functional Adaptations: Advanced Teacher Training With Kimberly Vest takes place on Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm at 401 Highland Avenue, SE, Roanoke, VA, United States, Virginia 24013. - **Q**: Who is organizing Functional Adaptations: Advanced Teacher Training With Kimberly Vest ? - **A:** Functional Adaptations: Advanced Teacher Training With Kimberly Vest is organized by Uttara Yoga Studio. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
