Art of hands of Adjustment in Yoga | 10 hour course

Learn when to intervene and when not to adjust in yoga

This extended masterclass is intended for any practitioner and/or teacher who wishes to deepen their understanding of the complexity of postures and how to simplify them into sections that are easy and 'healthy' to perform. We will explore where physical limitations are present, and where—and when—these limitations can be overcome.

Over the course of this weekend, you will learn a set of procedures and techniques to help open the body more or deepen postures—both for your personal practice and for those you assist. We will break down the mechanics of postures and the main movement 'algorithms' of the body, and you may be surprised to discover that there are only a few universal patterns that apply to all postures. Once you understand this, you will learn to think independently and respond according to the unique nuances of the body you’re working with

In This Training We Will Explore:

Why we give and receive physical adjustments
Different categories of adjustments and how to use them for optimal results
The benefits of physical adjustments—for both the giver and the receiver
When to adjust and when not to—cultivating discernment and sensitivity
When and how to incorporate verbal cues to support and enhance physical adjustments
Do’s and Don’ts—essential principles for safe and respectful touch
Adapting adjustments to different body proportions—bridging the gap between the adjuster and the recipient
How to find the optimal level of intensity, and how to work with intensity mindfully
The subtle, silent communication between the one adjusting and the one being adjusted
The role of breath and building rapport—creating trust and receptivity through presence
Partner work—exploring postures ideal for working with a peer, whether in class or an informal setting (e.g. Upavistha Konasana, Supta Vajrasana, etc.)
Techniques for adjusting over 20 postures—practical, hands-on guidance
For those interested, there will be an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned by assisting in classes at our studio
