Hands On! Adjustment Training for Yoga Teachers
So, you are a yoga teacher? Have you been taught how to sing opening mantras? Sure!
Now, can you cite the Bhagavad Gita as well? Oh, Prince Arjuna!
Light incense sticks? Dim the light and count to five? Yes, to all of the above?
Then, did they teach you how to fold a student into marichyasana D or yoga
mudrasana without injuring him? Hmmm, well ...
Seriously now, almost NO yoga teacher has received proper training in delivering safe,
correct and effective adjustments to his students during his professional education!
Just ask yourself, how you learned them? Copied your teacher? Intuition, somehow?
Do you prefer not to give adjustments?
