Conscious Hands on Adjustments Part II with Kelly Shull
May 11, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
We will take a deeper dive and build on what we have learned in part I (and put into practice in our teaching) with a similar format getting into more challenging adjustments in more intermediate postures in twists, arm balances & inversions. We will learn how to adapt to what you feel and sense, applying principles of grounding and length, and playing with the balance between the student and teacher. These skills go a long way in building the relationship and creating trust in the student teacher relationship. We will go more in depth in gaining confidence to make the right decisions in the moment and learning how to apply adjustments that are tailored to each individual's needs.
