50-hour Sampoorna Alignment and Adjustment Course

In this course, we will revise the foundations and principles of yoga adjustments, and practice different techniques of giving physical adjustments, in a safe, learning environment. You will receive constructive feedback from fellow students and lead teachers. By the end of the course you will feel confident in adjusting more than seventy yoga postures.

It has become very common to get adjusted in yoga classes, with many students even expecting to get adjusted. Since there are infinite possibilities of how to adjust different body types in a posture, adjusting has become an art on its own. Through adjusting, a student gains high level of trust in his/her teacher. Hence, effective adjustments have the power to turn random drop-in yogis into loyal practitioners.

While some students respond to verbal instructions, others respond to hands-on adjustments. That makes adjustments a very effective way of communicating with your students. Often the best way to understand something is not through information but through experience. That is why physical adjustments not only guide the student into the posture but also help to improve the alignment and deepen the posture.

Providing meaningful adjustments to our students will help them to explore the edges of effort and ease, to practice between surrender and control, to develop awareness about their own body, and to open to self-understanding.
