Assist & Adjustment Workshop - Yoga CE

Offering yoga assists and hands on adjustments to yoga students is an art. It requires a deep knowledge of poses and flow, keen observational skills, awareness of body mechanics and alignment, and a willingness to connect with students on a more intimate level.  The most important aspect of physically adjusting students is communication and clear intention. The goal of assists and adjustments is to keep our students safe, build connections, and facilitate them in working towards a deeper, safer practice. Through this workshop, teachers will become confident in offering solid, supportive adjustments that empower students. 

Discussion topics will include:

Body Autonomy and Personal Agency

How to ask to enter a student’s space

The role of props and tools in assisting

Assessing poses to determine where correction and deepening can occur
