There is a fine line between giving a deliciously sweet adjustment that improves your students practice and taking them too tar, actually disturbing their practice and sending them into tension and pain. In this workshop, you will learn the difference, as you delve into the art and science of giving good adjustments.

You will be introduced to techniques and body awareness principles, and look at anatomical basics that can be used in all your adjustments. As well, we will focus on adjustments for common standing, seated, inverted and supine poses.

And you will learn how to give GREAT savasana We will also play with Thai Yoga Massage as a complimentary practice of yoga.

There is no “one size fits all for life,” so why should your practice be? Asana and other yoga techniques exist on a spectrum of intensity; a gentle balance of effort and return to center both physically, and energetically.

In this refinement training, we will focus on how to find the right place on that spectrum for you and your students no matter the day or season of life. We’ll pay special attention to how to meet the needs of students working to increase flexibility while keeping our hyper-mobile students safe and healthy. We will learn methods of communication and cuing that meet people on both ends of the spectrum.

Many of us come to yoga and feel amazing, but have you ever wondered why yoga affects you so deeply? The asana (poses) that we do are only a small portion of what makes yoga so magical. Join Jess McGimsey for a course into the Bhagavad Gita, how yoga impacts your life on multiple levels, and how to journey towards your best self. We'll blend in meditation, pranayama (breath-work), and asana for evenings of calming, impactful opportunities for introspection.

Open to students interested in learning more about yoga, 200 RYT's for CEUs, and 300 TT certification hours within Peace Love and Yoga, Living Beyond the Mat or Yoga 8 Academy schools.
