This Adjustment Workshop will teach you both why and how to apply effective hands-on adjustments.
Join Sergio on Saturday June 4 from 1:30-3:30 pm for this very informative, interactive and fun event.
You will gain an in-depth understanding of the purpose and use of adjustments for yoga postures. Hands-on adjustments and assists can be a very powerful tool for yoga teachers as well as for any yoga practitioner.
When done well, hands-on adjustments are an opportunity to retrain patterns or ways of moving that we see in our bodies as we practice.
You will understand the big picture of why, when, and how hands-on adjustments work when given, while learning skills that you can apply in your daily practice to take your asanas to a deeper level.
Offering assists and adjustments is an art. It requires highly developed observation skills, awareness of body mechanics and movement, intimate familiarity of the poses, and strong communications skills. The goal is to assist and adjust so that students find their ultimate expression of poses without becoming teacher-dependent.
This carefully designed workshop will offer a deeper understanding of how to achieve the "desired" look of the pose or work towards it.
He will also cover the role of props as tools in adjusting and assisting, self-adjusting, body and space awareness for the self without developing dependency and proper alignment in different asanas.
Bring a mat, water and any props you'd like, but we do have all props in studio.
If you are a Yoga Teacher, Yoga teacher in training or fitness trainer, come get more tools for your teaching belt.
