RocketBeats Adjustments TT
A deep dive into the art of assisting: subtle, skillful, and intelligent physical adjustments for dynamic yoga teaching
Physical adjustments are a central part of RB methodology - from our signature B2B sessions to our evening classes, there is always a person in the room focusing on physical assists.
Adjusting is the art of reading the room and knowing who to assist and how. There is simply no single assist for any pose. Instead, every assist will depend on balancing the practitioner’s strength and flexibility in a pose.
This 15 hour teacher training is a deep dive into our way of assisting - leaving behind the idea of pushing deeper into a forward fold, or pulling deeper into a backbend.
Instead, discover how the subtlety of lifting the heels in dolphin, grounding the back foot in a humble warrior and giving a good poke in the ribs in, well, just about any pose we can think of, can help students understand the pose in a more meaningful way.
This is a 15 hour teacher training focusing on the art of physical adjustments.
Using the RB approach to strength and flexibility, the training will teach you how to read different bodies so you can assess an individual's strength and range of motion, select the right adjustment for the right person, and leave one-size-fits-all assists behind.
The training is divided into 5 sections
-
An introductory session exploring the philosophy and ethics of giving physical adjustments and explaining RB's approach to anatomy - including assessing strength and flexibility in asana practice
-
UP - a practical guide to assisting shoulder based poses, from foundational poses such as plank and down dog to arm balances, inversions and binds
-
DOWN - a practical guide to assisting hip based poses, from foundational poses such as chair and the warriors, to complex poses like bird of paradise, hanumanasana and king pigeon
-
FORWARDS - a practical guide to assisting forward folds, from foundation poses like uttanasana and prasarita to navasana to standing splits to presses
-
BACKWARDS - a practical guide to assisting back bends from foundational poses like salabhasana to wild thing to wheel to inverted backbends
