In this workshop you will learn to connect with your own and other students’ energy field, through practical exercises. You will explore how to best assist someone in a posture, beginning with subtle corrections/adjustments, then deepen someone’s experience of a posture, and ultimately to assist someone in reaching the fuller expression of a pose.
Emphasis will be placed on the recognition of the students’ abilities, limitations, and the honouring of those. We focus on the respectful and mindful execution of an adjustment. You will occasionally work in pairs to explore the ideas and techniques presented.
We will discuss the alignment of the posture before each adjustment.
Suitability
You are welcome to join in this workshop if you are interested in exploring the more subtle aspects of our beautiful practice. Yoga teachers of all lineages are invited and most welcome.
Note: In the workshop we will explore selected postures, but it does not include a whole asana practice. You are expected to have practiced before-hand.
About Angelika
I have always considered it a privilege to be able to assist students in their practice of yoga, using hands-on adjustments. This special contact with a student enables me to deepen my understanding of the student’s practice and current state of well-being. I hope to use this knowledge to better assist the student.
After more than 30 years of teaching, out of which I have spent the last 26 years in the Mysore room, I still regard it an honour for students to trust me in this way. There is always so much more to learn. What I have so far experienced and understood about adjustments – their subtleties, as well as the great variety of requirements needed to cater for each student’s needs – I am looking forward to sharing with you in this workshop
