something about hands on adjusting

Something about hands on adjusting. That is the assignment.  I need to post one more blog to finish session three of the bodhi yoga teacher training requirements.

Why is this so hard for me? I think, because I have to come out of my comfort zone and place my views Into a public forum. One good thing is I don’t have many followers on my blog.

 I have use hands on adjustments for about 2 months as part of my yoga classes. I instruct on Tuesday and Friday morning. Everyone says that savasana pose adjustments are great. I can’t get around to everyone every class but I try to do as much as I can. I am glad that my friends are willing to be my ( pigs of guinea). I Have  a 5 year old nephew   who just loves to lie down and I adjust him in savasana pose, he really likes his neck rubbed.

 So class usually goes like this, warm up including ujjayi breathing then we practice the bodhi flow a vinasana practice and then asana practice. I usually pick a theme for the day such as abbs.  Standing poses, twists or forward folds.  well you get the idea. During the asana practice I will adjust people’s poses. Everyone likes to have the adjustments sometimes it makes it easier to do the pose. This sometimes creates more length in the pose or a more open pose. All of the students that come to my class I know quite well so doing a  hands on adjustment is very comfortable. Then we finish with twists and savasana. Our om is coming along nicely sometimes it is great and sometimes it is a bit off its a work in progress.  yoga is a work in progress  on a lot of levels. It’s not about the pose as much as is it is about observing how your mind, breathing and energy are affected by the pose . This can give us insights into ourselves. Namaste cheri
