Like our words and our demonstrations, hands-on adjustments offer students an alternative doorway into postures and can be effective tools to align, support or deepen an asana.  In this workshop we'll learn guidelines to keep our adjustments effective, safe and in service of the student.  Looking at bodies will help refine the assessment skills necessary to ascertain potential risk factors in a pose, while practicing on each other will offer a kinesthetic approach to learning the adjustments.  Reviewing the main actions of each asana will clarify what needs to be communicated with our hands.   Bring a camera to document your experience.  CE credits available for teachers.
