Hands-On Adjustments Intensive
April 5-6
12:30 - 5:30pm both days

Skillful, sensitive, appropriate touch and verbal cues have the potential power to transport your students to a more conscious awareness and self-refinement in their yoga practice. But before we touch and speak we must first see and understand the unique qualities present in an individual student’s practice.

In this workshop, you will further develop your observation skills; learn and practice effective hands-on adjustments that both address common misalignments and encourage inner guidance in a variety of poses; enhance your skill in linking clear verbal cues with adjustments; and build confidence in the practice of giving and receiving as you learn to better help your students find joy and ease amidst the challenge of their practice.

Open to Students & Teachers. With satisfactory completion of an outside written assignment, this workshop qualifies for 10-12 hours toward Yoga Alliance RYT 200, RYT 500, or Continuing Education Units. Applicable to Yoga Teacher Certification.

Price: $75

Hip Liberation
April 26
1:30-4:30pm

If you climb, run, surf, cycle, play volleyball, board, ski or just like to play frisbee at the beach, strong yet flexible hips are a key part of balancing power and freedom of movement. Yet playing sports (or even sitting around in chairs) creates tightness throughout the hip joint (in the flexors, extensors and rotators) that can limit your freedom and lead to sidelining injuries.

In this yoga clinic, we will look closely at how the hip joint optimally functions in work, play and sport alike. We will identify sources of weakness, instability, imbalance and tightness, then explore a variety of yoga pose sequences designed to help you develop the optimal balance of strength and flexibility for your lifestyle.

Price: $25
