Foundations of Adaptive Yoga

This workshop combines the full course content of our Online Intro to Adaptive Yoga ( I & II ) in a week-long intensive with Matthew Sanford and Mind Body Solutions faculty. This week of experiential learning explores how adapting yoga is more than simply learning to modify the asana. It is a journey of self-discovery. Based on the universal principles of yoga, our training emphasizes teaching the experience of poses rather than their physical performance and includes working hands-on with our adaptive students. Discover how inward awareness, reference and adjustments, and use of props and alignment opens the subtlety of the mind-body relationship. Then, using more complex poses such as inversions, backbends, and twists, learn how to teach activation through the inner body without overt muscular movement.

This workshop qualifies for 32 contact Yoga Alliance continuing education hours.
