The hands-on adjustments are an art. The art of ‘manipulating’ the postures of yoga practitioners -by using highly skilled hands-on techniques- to help them achieve the following:
- Correct aesthetic alignment
- Deepen a particular posture, which otherwise they may not be able to do on their own due to:
- Tight muscles
- Tight connective tissues (i.e., fascia)
- Scar tissue
- Nervous system (mechanisms of protection / mental barriers)
- “Time collapse”: Accelerating their journey to become more flexible, mobile and/or functional.
- Create new muscle memories to explore broader ranges of movement and flexibility.
- Unlearn any unwanted/unhealthy pattern of movement and establishing new ones by retraining the nervous system.
- Experience postures in ways they may have never felt before.
- Reduce the chances of injuries by teaching them to feel the appropriate alignment of the postures.
- Enhance their body awareness.
- Release emotional blockages which can cause tightening of certain muscles, joints or connective tissues.
