Art of Adjustment
It’s always best when a yoga student finds the way towards their optimal alignment on their own. From time to time, however, a hands-on adjustment can help them find greater freedom and balance. And there are times when a physical adjustment can lead to Aha! and/or Ahhhhhhh! moments or understanding and freedom.
Partnering with a fellow practitioner or supporting a student requires knowledge and practice. Confidence is key to providing intentional and appropriate touch, while enhancing alignment and overall experience. The art of hands-on adjustment is intended for teachers and students who are curious about alignment. It involves honouring someone’s space, providing balance, working with the student’s breath, matching energy and supporting rather than “fixing.”
In this course, we will cover issues of consent and responsibility, and practice stabilizing and mobilizing techniques. Students will work with partners to both execute and experience hands-on adjustments in all types of poses - standing, seated, twists, backbends and inversions.
