Hands-On Yoga Adjustments & Alignment Training

Sometimes, all you need is a little lift to rise again. This video captures the essence of partner and instructor assists for backbends like Dhanurasana, showcasing how we build trust and community while working on challenging heart-opening postures.

Here, we are providing a gentle adjustment in Parsvottanasana (Pyramid Pose). The focus is on squaring the hips and lengthening the spine, demonstrating how a light touch can provide crucial feedback for proper alignment.

In this standing forward bend adjustment, we guide the student to release tension in the lower back. This is a key technique for teaching how to read a student's body and offer support that encourages a safe and effective stretch.

A closer look at an adjustment for Trikonasana (Triangle Pose). We're guiding the student to create more length in the side body and open the chest, a fundamental skill for any yoga teacher to master.

This is a preparatory pose for a backbend, where the instructor is helping the student engage their back muscles correctly. We emphasize building foundational strength to prevent injury in more advanced asanas.

An instructor provides a stabilizing adjustment in a seated spinal twist. This helps the student ground through their sit bones while rotating from the thoracic spine, a key detail for a healthy and effective twist.

Using props is essential for making yoga accessible. Here, we are spotting a student using a headstand bench, ensuring they feel secure as they build the core and shoulder strength required for inversions.

Yoga is for everyone, including gym lovers. This video shows how we guide a student with a strong weightlifting background through their first supported headstand, translating concepts like body engagement from the gym to the mat.
