Recognizing the uniqueness of each student, we reject the 'one alignment for all' approach. Our mission is to equip you with the skills to understand individual students and offer personalized adjustments, transforming their practice through effective assists.
Through mindful assists with consent, teachers build trust and help students connect with their bodies and capabilities.
Starting with the foundational power of touch, Himanshu & Gourav aspire to create a community of yoga teachers where touch is applied effectively, consensually, and safely. Adjustments in this community aim not for 'perfection' but to guide individuals into a deeper embodiment of asana.
The most popular and elaborate part of the course, hands on adjustments. Learn to help your students come back to the present moment, to deepen their practice, guide them to better alignment, share a moment of care and assist them to release the tension stored in muscles. From backbends, inversions, forward folds to twisting and balancing poses, our module covers a variety of poses that you can use in your class. At the end of these 6 days, you will leave feeling more confident in the power of touch and the comfort of breath.
Props are the beautiful additions that help to elevate your yoga practice. In this course, we will dive into the significance of using props efficiently in your practice and highlight the advantages they bring, not only to your practice but also to your body. Explore the benefits of props in your self practice and help your students gain better alignment, extension of the body, breathe deeper and relax more.
