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.

It is with much joy (and a little intimidation) that I invite all of my beloved readers to a holiday chanting celebration. My chanting teacher has decided that myself and the rest of my chanting group are ready for our first concert. The theme of the show will be healing chants and mantra, something that all of us need during the chaos between Thanksgiving and the New Year. We will be chanting from the Vedas and Yoga Sutras, which will be inspiring for all. It is a complimentary show and your presence is welcome. I could certainly use your support to quell my nerves!!! Here's the scoop:
What: Concert of Healing Chants

I’m Back!!!
My dear readers, I am so sorry to have neglected you. I've had a wild few weeks, but all was well worth it. The fall retreat in Jamesport was fantastic on all accounts. Probably my favorite retreat that I have led thus far. Stay tuned for the spring date!
Now that I am back on the blogosphere I will have all kinds of juicy scoop to post. Events, reflections, tips for practice and life. Feels good to be home!
Love,
Sara
