Back in Action

Hello my dear readers,

I apologize for the long hiatus. However, the time was well spent. My husband and I welcomed our son, Rocco, on February 16th. He has added a new layer of joy and learning to our lives. Of course, my appreciation for yoga and its teachings has grown since becoming a parent. It has enabled me to enjoy the present moment to its fullest, dig deep to overcome challenges, and to find the time to just BE in the midst of the happy chaos.

I am pleased to announce that my site has been updated and many exciting classes and workshops are on the horizon. Please visit Sara Yoga for details.

Peace and love to all of you!

Adjustment Clinic

When: Saturday 11/8/08 12:30-6:30pm

Where: Balance Yoga and Healing 

Cost: $100 (includes workshop and hand outs)

The ability to adjust others and to adjust yourself comes from a two-fold understanding. While knowledge and technique are important, so is the ability to read the physical and energetic signals of the individual you are teaching. Great adjustments used incorrectly for someone's ability, body type, or even mental and emotional state become worthless or even detrimental. On the contrary, a small but perfectly applied adjustment can allow the practitioner to transcend boundaries they didn't even know existed. In this workshop we will:

• Learn adjustments for several important asana, including standing and floor poses
• How to apply these adjustments for your own practice in addition to students of all abilities
• Learn to "read" yourself and your students' bodies and energies, in order to determine the best way to adjust
• Deepen your understanding of human anatomy and how it is affected by yoga, emotions, and touch

This workshop is open to both practitioners and teachers, as the learning takes place from both angles.
