Hands-On Yoga Adjustments & Alignment

Using a yoga wheel, I guide a student into a supported backbend. This technique allows for a gentle yet deep spinal opening, demonstrating our focus on using props to make advanced poses more attainable.

This student is working on Yoganidrasana, or Yogic Sleep Pose. My guidance helps ensure their body is positioned correctly to protect the spine and hips while exploring this intense forward bend.

Achieving Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (One-Legged King Pigeon Pose) requires careful alignment. I provide support to help this student open her chest and shoulders while keeping her hips square and stable.

With the help of straps, we can work on challenging inversions like this forearm stand variation. I am here to spot and guide, ensuring the student builds strength and balance with proper form.

Wall support is an excellent tool for learning inversions. I am providing a light touch to help this student find their balance in a supported headstand, building confidence to eventually practice in the center of the room.

In this assisted backbend, I help a student use blocks for stability as they deepen the stretch. This personalized attention is a key part of my teacher training, focusing on safe progression.

Partner work is essential for learning how to support others. Here, two students work together in an assisted lunge and backbend, building both flexibility and a sense of connection.

A standing split requires both flexibility and balance. I provide a stable point of contact, allowing the student to focus on extending their leg and deepening the stretch safely.

Using a chair for support, I guide a student through a deep neck and shoulder release. This shows how we adapt classical poses with props for therapeutic benefits.
