Hands-On Adjustment Workshop

 Hands-On Adjustment Workshop

 Saturday, September 14
10a-3pm

From 10a-12p the focus will be on restorative/gentle adjustments and movements. 1-3p will be focused on standing/balance postures. Options to attend only the AM portion, only the PM portion, or attend the full day with a 1 hour lunch break. Choose whichever serves you, depending on your needs as a teacher, or where you are on your learning journey!

Kevin and Sasha are both experienced Yoga Teachers who have a passion for offering Hands-On adjustments. 
 
This workshop is designed for teachers or practitioners only: those of you who have a yoga certification and regularly teach classes or practice one-on-one with students*. It's designed to take the intimidation out of the adjustments, and bring confidence to the pracitioner/teacher so you can feel at ease adjusting your consenting students/clients.
*if you'd like to join and don't fall into this category, reach out to us and tell us more about why you'd like to/why you're inclined to learn!
 
Assists / adjustments are such an important part of how we can offer compassionate consensual touch for both alignment, support and relaxation--bringing students into more body awareness as they practice. 
 
Whether or not you learned adjustments in your YTT and you don't use them regularly, or you'd like to just brush up and gain some more insight, we'd love to offer you the space to learn, practice on others, and ask relevant questions.
 
Here's some things we'll talk about before we practice:
 
- Why adjust? 
 
-Bringing Physical/ Energetic body into alignment 
 
-The principle movements: Lift, lower, extend, open, close, rotate, support.
 
-Ahimsa- do No harm. To yourself or the student. 
 
-Be Grounded, Be aware of body position, hand position, gaze.
 
-Aware of your intention and attention as a practitioner before touch
 
-Consent 
 
- Finally, we will go through some Asana and practice together! There will be both active adjustments in standing postures as well as more restorative adjustments.
